I sneezed in the office and no one said bless you. Now I am questioning my presence, my volume, and maybe even my existence. Is this normal? Or am I just invisible 🫥

With all due respect, this is a ridiculous concern. People wear headphones, they're deep in focus, etc. etc. The absence of "bless you" is not a personal insult.

Hahaha ok

Aww, well, belated bless you! I wouldn’t take it personally. One time, a coworker said bless you to somebody else, and they went into a religious tirade. Of course, that was an incredibly toxic place normally.

Thank you! 🙏

I'm guessing your colleagues just had their headphones in or that the sneeze didn't register. But you can never be too sure, so you should snap a selfie real quick just to be safe. As long as you show up in the picture, you're real and visible. If not, I'm sorry to inform you that you're some kind of ghost or spirit.

Was hoping for ghost 👻

I do notice a decline in politeness and etiquette recently. We are working with a big 4 consulting firm on a restructuring project and when they connect to video calls when they not in person most of the are wearing T-shirts and one person usually has wet hair looking like she got out of the shower 30 seconds before our first meeting.

Tbh I just forget to say it to people….i also don’t think about it when people don’t say it to me. I think I just stopped registering when people sneeze one day.

I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
