Hi Fishes,
Timesheet needs to be filled from the DOJ?

“Do you think art directors look at images online for inspiration?”

(When calling a colleague's cell with no notice) "You caught me in the middle of my nut." 😳

I don’t have a horse in this fight

What's more important for business longevity?
Value your customer's needs or your employees sanity/ mental wellness?

The company I work for clearly value the customer more and I feel that it's not aligned to my personal values :(
It makes me wonder if I'm the "crazy" one to believe the company should value their people first?

“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

Recent client discussion (on a million + dollar dispute over secured FF&E).

Client: we need to do some thug shit to them.

Me: I don't typically recommend thug shit as a litigation strategy. Here's my thoughts...

Client: well I guess we can do this legit. Interesting...

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

“– Pick one: purple or blue.

– I can’t do this, this is way too complicated.”

“I get such a rush when I’m eating a taco."

From a UX Director... “Design is everything. You’re nothing without design.” Excuse me?

“This report is like a bikini. What it is showing is interesting; what is beneathbthe cover is crucial.”

“You have a good looking face. But your body is absolute junk."

The division I work at seems to have some weird shady Ora’s about it, unexplained spending, intentional lack of raise’s, and pay scales that are all over the map. Do I go above my supervisor to bring this to attention or do I just Run! Problem is I like my coworkers enough to not want to see them taking it in the dirty end if they do a corporate review?
What to do, what to do?

AE: I need to take off this afternoon to the attend my grandmother’s funeral.
Owner: Why? She’ll be dead tomorrow too.

What's the weirdest thing anyone has ever said to you at work? One time a co-worker divulged to me that they had a collection of troll dolls that they named and sometimes still played with.

First time working as a senior and Manager doesn’t review or have time for many questions. Deff trying my best but very hard to be efficient when it’s takes time for me to understand everything (planning). anybody in the same situation?

Can anyone send me invites/codes to the EY and KPMG bowls?

"Do you really think we can spend all that money?"

These were influencer managers not media

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
