Compared to the outdoors, I rarely smell weed in the office. This leads me to believe we are, as a class, The Vaperatti™️

Feel like most of my coworkers will take a hit if there’s a joint passed around, but maybe 1/10th of us (small shop) who really care about a personal stash. Few years ago, we used to get the delivery guys in the office—with the CEO—but we scaled that back.

Still a lot of the same stigmas from high school. Find out someone enjoys a bit more than weed, and there are hushed whispers.

Really? A bump here or there seems like par for the course. But maybe I’m a bad boy.

Rampant. 12-15 years ago during pitch ‘weekends’ (you know what I’m talking about), at my agency, a select few of us creatives kept a secret baggie and a key in the bathroom where other select few creatives knew to find it. When it’s 2AM and you are gonna be there until daybreak, at least, a little help from Mexico was there.

Worked at and agency about 15 years ago where every Friday the third stall in the upstairs bathroom there was enough cocaine chunks spilled on the floor to get you gacked

Those were the days! Also: the corporate cards with almost zero accountability and the all-afternoon team brainstorms at the bar.

Hi team i have a bit of doubt.
I have an excel sheet where column A is the order numbers. I want to add comments in column G.
There are many repetitions in order numbers but they are all sorted in ascending so all the repetitions are below one another.

If i have a comment, how can i automatically paste that same comment in all the repetitions of that order numbers if i write it in the 1st instance.

Thanks in advance

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
