If anyone is looking for a last minute volunteer for panel and speakers for AAPI. Please DM me. I’ve been stuck in a Covid loop and forgot about this time of the year. Would love to be part of the events.

Anyone had case involving modification based on school response to COVID-19

What are the best social strategies you’ve seen in your life (not in response to COVID-19)?

I’m tired of hearing about COVID 24/7. What other interesting things have happened over the past month for you or in the world?

Any other districts closing? LAUSD just did for two weeks for corona virus that’s crazy. Stay safe y’all . Wash your hands and teach your kids to wash em too.

Not sure if anyone has experience with this but figured I’d ask. My 8yo daughter has been gaining weight over the last 2 years. Started during covid being home a lot and I guess eating more than normal. Schedules now are back to normal and she’s still gaining. I’ve gotten rid of all unhealthy food in the house but she will eat a lot of everything, always wants seconds and very hard to control. I don’t know what to do. Is it too early for a nutritionist?

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I’m in the market for a new 65-70+ inch tv. I see some models at the $1500+ range, and others around $750. Is there any real difference in quality between mid price TVs for someone who just watches hbo and doesn’t really obsess over pristine quality? Ps this is Covid related bc all I do anymore is work and watch tv.

I keep getting surprised each month by our firm financial reports indicating we are relatively on track with our pre-Covid budget, while also watching our overall billable hour numbers for the year continue to go down. So, it is really 2021, when our 2020 backlog AR won’t be rolling in, that I should really be planning to hunker down for?? Seems a bit like the disconnected stock market to economy.

Any agencies planning to stay remote even after COVID?

Is there any hope ( Romantic hope ) for a single mum? I look good for my age, I’m decent, earn a respectable amount. Yes I’m divorced, I have a lovely primary aged fun loving completely normal kid. I had a relationship that ended a year ago and I would love to meet someone but in this covid world I feel like there is no chance! :( any ideas ?

What agency has done the best work since Covid started?

Which one is the worst time (from economy and job security perspective )?
9/11 or 2008-10 recession or COVID-19 ?

Any advice on how to find opportunities with only a year and half experience? COVID19 has made job hunting difficult and I am sick of IBM at this point.

How has COVID affected your workload, if at all? My group has a lot more work to do, and less resources with which to do it. But I don't worry about layoffs, so overall I'm happy to be where I am.

Had an interview and the place says they’re in person 2-3 days a week. It’s a small team but is it crazy I was really put off by that? I’ve been remote since the beginning of COVID and fully expected to be until I’m/the majority of people are vaccinated. Is anyone else going into the office?

Starting at McK (NA) next month and my training just moved from in-person to virtual - are you all seeing a decline in business travel because of covid concerns? I'd heard that a lot of teams had started to travel over the past few months

What will be the % hike after promotion from associate consultant to consultant?

Any male Asians , feel that they have been passed up for a role because they are Asian ? Feels like the Asian man dating effect spills over into corporate culture . Or am I alone n over thinking it?

I've been seeing a lot of ADCOLOR posts on linkedin, and some of the people who are liking and reposting it are some of the same people who were blatantly racist and rude to me when I worked with them. I wish there was something I could say/do about it, but it's literally making my blood boil seeing them like posts about "uplifting" and "supporting" BIPOC, only because I know that once they get off their screens and they're the meanest people

Are our minds, as asians, just wired differently?

Honestly don’t think advertising is good for Asians - I’ve met very few if any especially in strategy.

I’ve been searching for a bilingual Chinese writer for some time now to partner with. At this point it feels like finding a unicorn. Anyone here worked with a conceptual writer not a translator?

Happy Lunar New Year!

I just became co-chair of our the Asian group at our holding company. Need your help with ideas to help improve our program I was thinking mentorship, events and speakers focused on industry topics. If you had an Asian focused group in D&I, what would you be interested in?

Do you find being an Asian in this industry has had any pros /cons or no affect on your success?

Can we talk about the rise of hate crimes in AAPI community? My heart is heavy as we celebrate Lunar New Year this year.

New CEO/CCO is Asian. Feeling empowered
