How much of your health insurance does your agency pay for?

Experience sharing on calories deficit -
I have a normal body build but want to lose a few pounds(especially around my belly). I am making visible progress now by eating less(work gets busy and I use that to forget about hunger), a lot of walking, have casein protein to feel less hungry. Diet is really what do the trick.
But there are drawbacks too - my energy level(especially around night time) drop significantly that the level of exercise I used to do feels hard (light/mid intensity)

I have some mental issues that affect how I do my work. Is it appropriate to bring them up ever, or is it seen as an excuse?

Is giving birth w/o the epidural really that crazy of a concept? People laugh at me when I say its very feasible...

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Any NYC agency doing consumer healthcare / OTC? I’m so done with cancer, diabetes, conventions, charts and launches 😪

Best recent healthcare books related to improving our broken system? Atul Gawande’s books are a bit dated now I think.

Just finished An American Sickness again. Thank you!

Random question for my HR Benefits professionals- if I need to take a leave from work for an arm surgery (torn muscle not pre existing condition) would it be better to enroll in short term disability or take another type of medical leave?
Thanks

Anyone in the hospitals seeing the increase in monkey pox? How are y’all doing? You are not alone.

Why does my left arm keep getting numb when I sleep on my back? Anyone experience this?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

I’m about 10 pounds heavier than I was in college 3 years ago, but I have defined ab muscles and better endurance/strength than ever before. But I can’t help thinking I still feel a little chubby in

I’m looking to go back to school for my bachelors in health administration but I have 3 kids and a full time job so I’m looking to do online classes, does anyone know if a online degree from SNHU is respected in healthcare at all

Salam, Ramadan Mubarak! Anyone trying to maintain some level of strength training during Ramadan? I know it’s ideal to lift after iftar (maybe after dates/water + magrib and before dinner) but wonder if it is doable to squeeze in a 30-40 min training session right before iftar (for time saving purposes)?

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.

Any recommendation for a therapist around Jersey City/ NYC area? I have called 15 people so far and none of them are taking new clients. This isn't helping my anxiety.

Hi fishes,
As an employee of TCS, can we avail any comprehensive/full lab tests/ health checkup tests in Hyderabad.?
While I'm checking on Medibuddy, there's an "amount to pay" displayed on each of the tests.

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Been at a “top 5” agency for 2 years now and haven’t produced a single piece of work that I feel is book worthy. Granted, there is the whole global pandemic thing. But at what point do you start looking for a new job? Is 2 years long enough to at least get some cred for the name on the resume, despite not making anything great?

Any Accenture and slalom fish know what I can expect coming into either with 4 yrs of experience into the salesforce practice?

“Isn’t meth, like, so early 2000’s? Does anyone do that anymore?”

Resigned already 30 days back

Got 75% from accenture

Feeling like I should revoke resignation.

I am actually loving the people I am working with.

Not sure what is waiting for me in new company.

Will I regret leaving deloitte for accenture?

Biggest areas to focus on before BEC? I feel good about where I'm at but having issues on what to review before taking it since there's such a wide range of topics

This might be embarrassing, but, is there any courses on writing technical proposals? I’m not horrible at it, but I’ve seen some colleagues finish technical proposals in half of the time and in better quality

I’m in Europe on an extended trip and wanted to go to the Norwegian fjords. I wouldn’t be able to make it there til late September but concerned it’d be too cold to enjoy. Should I just postpone the fjords til I can do them in the summer?

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

What is something your government could implement to make your work easier/more productive?

Compliments to Walgreens creative team. Love the new pharmacy commercial with a focus on sun damaged skin.

Anyone work on the Sigma Watch/Stigma Watch (couldn’t quite hear the Recruiter) account at GroupM? I have a few questions while I’m in the interview process!

Anybody have any tips on how to go about the relocation conversation? I’m looking to move out of the city with our main office to a city with a much smaller office. With post-covid office culture I can’t imagine it’s that big of an ask. That said, I’m in a junior role and have been with the company for less than a year so I don’t know if this is a question I should really even ask at this time.

Been thrust into being a hyper-consumer recently. Holy shit, every "disruptive" store is the same (Casper, joybird, etc etc). This is a boring age of design and iconography.

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Recommendations for places to look for UX/UI or visual design roles in Seattle? Not Amazon.

Your opinion on VaynerMedia?

Can we please be done with vertical video? It’s completely opposite the human field of view, looks horrible, no camera other than a cell phone shoots it. Seriously dreading IGTV.

Grey Merge with AKQA, VMLYR merges with Geometry. Are those „mergers” just the coverups for potential wave of layoffs?

Has anyone tried LinkedIn Premium while on a job search? Is it worth it, would you recommend, and why?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

What's the perception of BBDO NY these days? Still good?

Do you think independent agencies will be in better shape to handle COVID-related client budget reductions and/or losses?

Or does it not matter and layoffs are equal across the board?

Who has more earning potential: Creatives or Producers? Talking about two aspects: mid-career salary and lifetime earning potential? I feel like producers peak earlier but creatives have higher max?

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

Any guidance about taking a job at a social agency? Is it as bad as everyone says it is?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
