Hello, CDs of the bowl! Hope the new year has a lot of great things in store for you! I was reading this article about how team lunches can be an antidote to people complaining about RTO policies. It's true, the lunches and other little gatherings at the office are what I most miss about pre-COVID life. Would you encourage mandatory team lunches for this reason? How do you feel about team lunches as a tool for connection?

Anything mandatory is no longer fun, they are a hard pass for me.

My first gig as a Jr, 70% of the creatives would go to lunch together, every day.
Every lunch time people would walk around the office inviting each other. The CCO would be present 90% of the time.
It was awesome and I miss it.

Love team lunches! I think it's definitely a beautiful way for the team to connect with each other and have a bond that makes having to be in each other's faces all the time much easier. I wouldn't enjoy it if it was mandatory though.

Oh man. Think about all the reasons people like WFH. Does mandatory lunches solve any of them, or just make coming in even more of a drag?

Lunch yes. Mandatory hard no.

I see what you're saying. How else would you manage to have everyone be there without fail? Asking for ideas.

I think team lunches can be helpful, and I can recall instances when they smoothed out issues in the sense that personality clashes softened up a bit. But I don't like the idea of a mandatory team lunch. I think if there's a team lunch people should come, but telling them they have to just rubs me the wrong way.

I’ve heard hiring really tapers off between Thanksgiving and New Years. If that’s true, when does it usually pick back up? I’ve been interviewing for industry jobs for a month now (I think I’m using the wrong recruiter), and I’m getting worried I’ll be stuck for busy season.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.
