Do you need to physically touch your colleagues? Otherwise, Teams works just fine.

Especially in advertising, it Is far more debilitating to be surrounded by groupthink. Working from home affords a level of intellectual freedom, as well as the ability to separate from those who otherwise drag down the team with their lack of innovation or bad ideas.

Well I use the skills that I learned and sharpened while working in an office with mentors and helpful colleagues for a decade.

Get away from the keyboard. Start with a pad and paper. Go for walks. Trust your sense of what works.

Read a book. Take daily walks. Do the dishes. Go to a cafe. Better than staring at a wall in the office.

Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
