Yeah, several. We send each other relevant work memes.

Even if you can't imagine or anticipate it, there will definitely come a time when you are doing something or are in some place that you don't want your coworkers to know about, and if you are following each other, it's too late / can't undo.

Do not connect with coworkers until and unless you have quit your job and they are truly going to be personal friends.

Otherwise coworkers belong on LinkedIn ONLY

I follow a lot of my coworkers because I actually like the people I work with 🤷‍♀️

I’m starting to work in the IB division in NYC soon. Was wondering what’s the dress code in the office. Would Business casual be fine?

If you don’t have a CD above you and you are doing the work, do you just send it off or do you ask other creatives for their take? Seems weird to just do work and present it without a gut check from somewhere.

Can you lose your job if you don’t like the animosity from your creative team and speak up about it ? Genuinely worried I might be disrupting the peace by saying something 🥴 the anxiety is terrible! Do I just accept it that they don’t like me or speak up and potentially burn that bridge?
