Has your boss ever insinuated that you should be grateful to have a job? This seems to be the trend around different industries

Yep and it's so insulting. Like yeah, I'm glad I'm not unemployed, don't get me wrong. But come on. Just because someone has it worse than I do doesn't mean I have to just shut up and accept terrible working conditions and low pay.

This is how my boss at my last company was. She would make comments about how we should just be grateful we have a job in this job market. As though that gave her the go-ahead to dump extra work on us and treat us like crap.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
