For starters, you did more than most just by starting (Kudos). IMO, you shouldn't dissolve the organization. Have you tried partnering with other organizations? Campaigned for sponsorship? It may not be enough considering the current situation around COVID 19 but it's worth a shot.

I am starting to realize I brought this nonprofit to a market of individuals who aren't largely ambitious (hence why people get out and return home). Not to mention funding is dry amid COVID-19. Feeling like a failure as a consider dissolving the organization before my first board meeting. Any words of wisdom? Encouragement?

I have networked with a few potential partnerships. The difficulty lies in my lack of available time to apply to this endeavor. Also, the services we are looking to provide are IMO saturated. I feel vets are tone-deaf at this point hearing about all of these non-profits who want to help.

Where are you located OP?

Currently in northern San Diego. Our non-profit is primarily virtual. I did get that right. I wanted the business model to be resilient to things like this pandemic.

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

Hi Fishes,

Recently, my appraisal cycle got completed. So whenever a recruiter asks about CTC, will I need to add the Gratuity and Insurance and then tell the Total number.

In my company Total CTC = CTC + Gratuity + Insurance.

Please let me know in comments !

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
