So your manager said you are doing better in the presence of your peers?

@M1 obviously I know that’s bullshit, but then why can’t they just come out and be honest that we aren’t doing well.

It’s not your fault. IBM is literally taking out loans to meet their dividend expectations. Nature of the beast.

Lot of that going around.

@IBM1 yeah I joined December last year

SEA is a nice 1-2K tho

Uh, you are IBM. What did you expect?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.
