My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off.

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side.

What jobs are in jersey city

Need prayer 🙏🏻 some complications with my company transitioning me into a full time position. Now I have to look for a new position and am not having luck. Feeling anxiety. Hard to have faith.

Just discovered this bowl and wanted to say hi! I feel a little less alone now. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

God is on His throne

Yeah. So glad you made this fishbowl. I’ve considered leaving this industry in general... i just find it hard to find good ppl. “Bad company corrupts goods morals” (might be butchering).

If God is the Creator of all, and we are made in the image of God, imagine what echoes of his creative mind we can produce in our work?

Anybody have a Christian therapist they recommend? I’d like to start going. Chicago or virtual option. My insurance doesn’t cover it and don’t have a high salary so can’t be super $$$

If anyone needs a prayer, put your needs on this post. I wanna pray for you.

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.

Just wanted to share a verse that calls us to be redeemers in our workplace. That our faith is not separate from our work.

I have been using this emoji 🙏 and saying to so many colleagues and clients “I’ll pray for you” with such warm and genuine receipt that I think sometimes God uses hopelessness to open people’s hearts to Him. I’ve spoken about my faith to work people more than I ever have in my 20 year career. In such a dark time, what a light prayer can be for our coworkers and clients.

A reminder to my fellow creatives - be strong and courageous.

Can i get an amen?!

I hope this is still a living bowl.

It has been hard to find a church in NYC where your friends with kids around 12yo are not moving to somewhere else.
