Hi! I’m desperately seeking help with my companies Facebook account. The previous employee who set it up is not available and nor is their phone number for the authentication. I’m able to get a code via email but the second step is the phone code which we cannot access. I’ve tried EVERYTHING and am desperate. Short of shutting down the old page and starting a new one, has anyone had this issue with a successful resolution?

Appreciate any help! Thank you!

I work in a start-up - and the founder keeps wanting to see design progress day by day and I feel like am rushed and not given time develop design concepts to their potential. And because of that, I am forced to show them where am at, and then they start nitpicking every little thing in the screens designed even though I myself haven't fully finalised them
And based on the comments I change directions and then they would be like oh sorry now I see what you meant then (continued in comments)
