What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

What is everyone making for the holidays? Need some inspiration for sweet n savory!

Hey folks, I work in marketing and program management and, along with everyone else, the recession is hitting me hard financially. When I try to find companies that pay well, they’re all in tech… but all those companies are laying off, freezing and rescinding offers (had one rescinded myself) 😕 so my question to all of you - what industries/sectors are still in demand for marketers/program managers right now that actually pay well?

From a UX Director... “Design is everything. You’re nothing without design.” Excuse me?

"She's like 30, but doesn't look super old"

"We hear your responses to our anonymous pulse survey, and we understand you all overwhelmingly think our team structure org needs to change. We understand it's not necessarily working well—but here's why we're NOT going to change it."
Why ask us if you really don't care?

How you came into the company will define your path. That’s why you’ll never be successful switching departments.

I’m starting at VMLY&R on account side and was asked if I want a PC or Mac. Not trying to be the odd one out - what do most account folks have?

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Alright, Fishbowl - whats the juiciest gossip you heard this week at work?

“I just want to see her cry” — People! Wtf!

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

I don’t have a horse in this fight

“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

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

What's the weirdest thing anyone has ever said to you at work? One time a co-worker divulged to me that they had a collection of troll dolls that they named and sometimes still played with.
