I created an comms consulting/marketing agency focused 100% on using advertising to combat COVID misinformation that is costing lives: we’re called The Auxiliary and you can check us out at resistcovid.com.

I’m reaching out because we’re running (our second) hackathon against the infodemic- this time centered around finding creative ways to keep Georgians informed about COVID amidst misinformation and mistrust and an early relaxation of social distancing.

We are still trying to get information out to our colleagues that vesicular rashes or generalized urticaria with mild URI symptoms are a presentation of Coronavirus

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

Any advice for dealing with a constipated puppy? She had been sick and the vet gave her medicine for the vomiting/diarrhea, which is working great for vomiting and lack of appetite but she hasn’t had a bowel movement in a few days even after a few good walks.. she’s a ticking time bomb!

I have one month left to finish my thesis. I know, I’ve screwed up. Anxiety got the best of me. Is there still hope?

This might be super basic but can anyone recommend a good fitbit model they like and find useful? I’ve never had one and the reviews are so mixed. I would like to know how many calories I burn in a day (with/without exercise). Don’t need any music capability and I will have my phone with me on walks (my main form of exercise).

Recently stopped taking Concerta (after taking it for almost 2 years at varying doses) because it started having some negative effects on my heart rate. I'm getting started on Straterra and a little nervous because I've heard so many bad stories about it. I was super tired the first day I took it and so started taking it in the evenings. Anyone have any good Straterra experiences?

Any Indian national recently came to US through the London Heathrow airport.

Parents coming from India and have a layover at London airport. Are there any covid restrictions we need to worry about?

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested. They are saying they will have to do special PGT tests if we are carriers of the same disorder. I am confused. I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?

How strict is Jio background verification?? My wife has not shown her previous company in CV and now HR has asked to share last 3 months salary slip to release offer letter. Is it fine if she skip this company??

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Significant other and I crossed the combined $1M net worth mark this quarter! Mostly in RE and 401k so we will not be FIRE-ing but still excited to be in the 7fig club.

Sorry, need someplace to celebrate and you guys are awesome.

Question about what to do next. I’ve maxed out everything—401k, HSA, IRA, backdoor Roth 401k. My bills are all paid. I’ll probably make about 16,500 more this year to do stuff with (ie money that isn’t going to taxes or insurance or anything). What should I do with it? Crypto? Set it on fire? Get a hair transplant?

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her.

Any advice for someone transitioning from management consulting to UX?

How do I keep my team engaged when I am also struggling to stay motivated?

Our department has had a lot of turnover within the last few months, all of which were from different reasons (school, family issues, opportunities close to home, etc.). It has been a challenge to divide the workload, while still trying to remain flexible and provide a work-life balance.

However, I’m starting to feel stressed and disengaged. Any suggestions to make it through the changes?

OFFICIAL "BULLSHIT JOBS" DISCUSSION THREAD

Anyone else still at work? Because I am.

And some people wonder why I started this bowl.

My partner and dog are sitting at home waiting for me.

Sigh.

When they lay people off, they often keep things quiet because it will "effect morale". But the firing itself is what effects morale. Being secretive about it undermines respect and harms morale more.

Do you use Working Not Working? Do you use another freelancing site? What do you like about it? What else do you wish it afforded you?

What if a guild operated a network like that, of talent & gigs?

You may have noticed the new Networking feature that has been added to our and other bowls. It concerned me with regard to privacy, so I reached out to Fishbowl for answers.

More in thread...

Uber just unionized. If they can, why can’t we?!

Roe V Wade just got overturned, what are we going to do about it?

anyone a part of their local dsa chapter? what's it like? I've been curious about joining

Thanks for starting this bowl and looking forward to sharing it with others and bringing in resources as needed for topics and discussions that are so very needed in our industry.

"The real inconvenient truth is not just that there is environmental pollution, which there certainly is, but that there is also social pollution. The work hours that companies are demanding of...”

It's been a busy couple of weeks at my workplace. Have you all been keeping your heads above water?

Anyone at my company interested in Marxism ?

Rumors that an NYC-based PR company may be in the midst of organizing. They'd be the first in our industry, but still no advertising agencies yet!

One of the major challenges I've encountered in starting a union in my workplace is that people who are woke enough to know we need one are also the ones smart enough to jump ship.
