I work as a manager in a restaurant full time but I am an uber driver as a side gig. It works for me because I can drive when I’m free and want to and makes me a little extra income. Do you have a side gig and if so, what do you do?

I was close to working a 2nd part-time job, scheduling was a nightmare to work with though, and it just didn’t work out in the end. I’ve been doing some graphic design freelance work, which brings in some extra, but very inconsistent.

Graphic design sounds cool - I wish I could do that except I have no artistic skills… 😅

I used to have a lot of private chef clients on the side but recently I've been prioritizing rest and recovery. I understand that money has to be made, but don't forget to give yourself and your body a break when you can.

Wow private chef sounds fancy! Anyone super rich or famous? Or just well-to-do folks?

I do DoorDashvery occasionally, but I almost never make any money after factoring in gas. People just don't tip anymore and the platforms don't really pay. I'd love to find a more lucrative side gig, do you find Uber to be worthwhile?

Uber is in the same boat. Tips are way less than it used to be, hence I’m looking for some better side gig ideas…

I do DoorDash and pet sit through Rover. I thought about Ubering, but I don't really want to deal with people in my car, so I've just stuck with DD. It isn't bringing in a ton of money, but every little bit helps.

Yeah every little bit helps for sure!

I have a friend who drives Uber and Lyft on the side and she always says she makes way more money in an hour than she does with our company. I have a little side gig as well. I sell candles that I make on etsy. I'm not getting super rich from it or anything but it is a nice little extra amount of money on the side.

I dunno if I make way more money in an hour than my regular job doing uber… maybe she hasn’t factored in gas and wait time and stuff. That being said, Etsy it’s a great idea if you have an artistic talent! Unfortunately I don’t have much artistic talent…

Our senior creative leadership keep talking about winning Cannes Lions and D&AD pencils but none of them have actually won any since 2007 (that’s 14 years 😭 ) and between all three of them they’ve never won more than a couple of silvers, a couple of bronzes and a couple of in-books (that’s with a combined experience of over 60 years 😭). They have no clue 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭. Tell me something about your agency so that I can feel better about the hell-hole I find myself in🙏

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Do you think culinary school is worth it? I've been a waiter for a year but really want to be a chef. The people I work with say to just start in the kitchen and work my way up but I think culinary school might get me where I want to be faster. The cost is pretty insane though. Any advice?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
