Getting creative with pots for these pilea pups. Takeaway sauce cups with a few holes cut at the bottom work perfectly! 🌱

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Any interest in doing a daily reflections thread? In the spirit of rotation one of us would be responsible for posting the link and kicking off the share for a month at a time??

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

Was the advertising industry always such a sweatshoppy, bad WLB industry? Or is the more of a modern thing?

Anybody here (or your spouse) on an L2 EAD and not received the renewal before your current one expires? What did you / your employer do?

Hi - I have an interview with Johnson & Johnson for a Leader role. There seems to be multiple interviews with multiple people in the organization. Hoping to get some insight on this process from those who have been through it as it sounds like a great opportunity. What do they look for? How can I ace the interview?

Any designer transitioned to a product manager role? How did you do it? (Outside of internal work transition, more interested in acquiring a new role in a diff company from designer to pm) thanks!

What are the chances of Amazon (or FAANG in general) allowing you to apply/interview again for a position that you did not get in the past?

Amazon…vacation time. 2 weeks, seriously! How do you negotiate for more? I currently get 5 weeks plus 2 company weeks off; summer and winter break plus several holidays.

Anyone use SmartAsset for leads? Any success?

CGI took almost a month,still interview process not completed.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Have a spider mite infestation on a lemon tree I brought indoors for the winter. Anyone have any ideas for how to kill them? I looked online and have tried neem oil, but it doesn’t seem to be working too well. Help!

What house plants are NOT toxic to cats? I swear every time I go to buy a new plant and look it up it says “toxic to pets”. I have a dumb cane which I know is toxic but didn’t realize when I bought it so now I just keep it in the laundry room away from my cat when I’m at work but that means no daytime sunlight. Would like suggestions on which plants I can buy that are safe to leave alone with my cat 😸

I’ve never had plants before, but I want to start having small plants in my bedroom to start with. What’re some good low maintenance ones to start with? Located in the northeast. Thanks!

Has anyone here shipped plants cross-country? Moving from NY to Seattle and looking to move my 8-9 small to mid sized plants. Would really appreciate any recs!

Do plants live forever? Or do the die eventually like animals? My peace lily of 11 years is outgrowing its pot and parts of it are dying it appears.

Anyone have anything to share with petals?? Craving some happy colors 🌺🌸🌼🌹💐

Anybody buy soil in bulk for delivery? Just bought a house and the shrub bed had personally wronged me.
