I was told I need to ask my team to come into office twice a week. Any suggestions on what days are best? I was thinking I ask them to do Tuesday and Thursday.

Oh, I would also try to communicate the value of being in person and give people an opportunity to share their concerns and feedback. I’m the one whose got day care drop off and pick up 3 days a week and my boss told me just to block off my calendar those days so people aren’t adding me to 8am or 4:30pm meetings

If I had a choice, I would choose back to back days. Preferably Tuesday and Wednesday.

I think that’s best. Either that or Tuesday and Wednesday. Ask your team.

I will on Monday! But I was told to have two days in mind when I told them by management. Can change later

How big is the team? On the smaller side, I agree with asking them. If bigger, it might be better to just pick because no same 2 days will be good for the majority, and some will feel like they didn’t get ‘picked’ for what worked best for them.

Great idea! I have to just tell them on Monday but will let them know we can change it moving forward!!

If I had to go back into the office, those are definitely the days I would prefer. But your team might be different, and may have life circumstances that would impact which days they prefer. Maybe do a poll and ask them to come to a consensus?

So true! I have to make an announcement Monday but I will let them know we can change it going forward. Also I would rather have a set two days (so if they miss a Tuesday there is no pressure to come in on Wednesday, better to just come in one day)

Instead of splitting it up into Tuesday and Thursday pick two days in the middle of the week back to back. Like Tuesday, Wednesday or Wednesday Thursday. Don’t do a weird split.

Do they all have to be there on the same days? Could you tell them they can pick but it has to be between Tuesday and Thursday so there is a good level of face to face interaction? As a data point we have to come back in the fall and Tuesday and Wednesday weee the days leadership mandated. Other than people complaining about parking, it’s been accepted well.

Can you get some budget for bagels/donuts, team lunch or team happy hours over the next couple months? We have a bar in our office so directors and VPs have been sending out invites for team happy hours on specific days for their teams.

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

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.

Hello! How can I break into the creative branding industry with 3 years of basic marketing knowledge, a self made website, and an extensive sales background in the CPG industry

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things. I started conversations with a small boutique studio about doing Facebook ads for them and they asked what my retainer fee would be to manage them. Since I’ve always worked for a company that was hired to do it I am not entirely sure what a freelance rate for that should be? I would love any insight. I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.
