How do I stop dreaming about work?! I wake up exhausted since my mind is literally making decks or in meetings in my sleep. Either I’m too invested or burnt out or both, but it needs to stop.

Agreed. Watch some funny YouTube videos, a show on Netflix, etc. to get your mind anywhere else but work. And don’t be on your phone while watching :)

Relaxation breathing/meditation before bed so you clear your mind. There are a few meditation apps that work well.

I’ve had the same problem and agree with all of the above suggestions. Find a project or book or something that will draw you in—shows/vids didn’t really work for me because my thoughts were still running while I was watching. Find something you can really get into, that you’ll look forward to getting back to when you’re at work. And guided meditation before bed.

I work remotely for a series A start up, TC is about $115K + equity. I work approximately 30hrs a week in a busy week, only meet with my boss and team once a week.

What’s the corporate way to tell a guy to “figure it out yourself, I’m not your personal Google” 🙄 this AD keeps asking me questions that are literally his job to figure out. My recent fav was him asking if I can summarize my copy for him so he can find an image. READ IT YOURSELF. THATS YOUR LITERAL JOB SIR.

Working on a campaign and I wrote the first version of the script that was chosen. My CW partner crafted it and then I made revisions. It’s been a super collaborative process and so rewarding. We’re both so proud of this piece. It’s manifesto-y and the writing is what makes it sing, so it hurts a little (or a lot) when my partner gets tons of praise from like, THE TOP, for the writing and doesn’t acknowledge me. Do ADs ever get co-writing credits? Do I just need to get over my ego? *big exhale*

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to this bowl. If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
