I worked remotely for about two years. My epiphany was to get out of the house and its distractions regularly. I ended up working nearly full time from a local Starbucks. Solid wifi and great coffee with cheap refills. Took my calls outside. It worked quite well.

👆🏼lol. Leave your apt. Go somewhere far enough away that you won't be tempted to walk back home.

Wait... were we supposed to be working remotely today...?

Coffee + EDM + standing desk

Wake up. Shower. Have video calls or at lest calls.

Slack

Maintain a routine and get out of the house! I write a list at the beginning of every day of things I have to accomplish.

Padlock the fridge.

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).

My adland exit: I worked in new biz for 8+ years and was burning out. For a while I’d been feeling like a cog in the capitalism wheel and needed a higher purpose than pitch decks!

I wanted to work in sustainability to tackle the climate crisis and through a series of moves (AMA 👍), I’m now leading global marketing for an NGO called Forest Stewardship Council. A huge relief.

I’m also now hiring a Marketing Manager (true reason for this post). Long shot, but details below if this speaks!
