Have you ever worked for an agency or department that merged/dissolved or just went out of business?

I find myself missing the good old days, but maybe I’m forgetting the bad times as well lol. It’s just hard knowing all of that is gone. Miss the people and just the overall vibe

I have, and from agencies which rightfully should still be around (Element79, Wexley School for Girls) . It is a unique, searing heartbreak because the work and the people and the absurd day to day challenges were just so good, but bittersweet because I and most everyone else couldn’t have gone on to have done other things without being literally pushed out/lights out.

Yes - it’s awful. And merging into a new agency ethos with political posturing is oh.so.fun.

Yup. I was part of an extremely well functioning team that completely no longer exists. But those people have gone on to other places and I’ve worked with a few of them here and there.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?
