I’m cracking under pressure. My whole team is overworked and understaffed with no relief coming. People are working while sick cuz we can’t afford to take time off. It’s always like this and I can’t take it anymore. Advice on how to survive until I can find something new?

Best place for holiday office parties?

Is it beneficial to have health insurance from both spouses, vs choosing the better one and opting out of the second? Why/why not? This seems like a silly question, but it’s our first time with both of us being staff in a decade. We have a kid, if that affects your answer.

Holiday office party coming up tomorrow and I still haven't bought a gift... ugh. Any suggestions? I never know what to bring.

Can someone explain how PTO works in house? I have only ever worked at a firm, starting my first in house position end of this month. I’m used to just blocking off time on my calendar if I have an appointment (like the rare occasion I have a dental appointment, well child checkup, etc) and then going. Do I really need to take PTO for these things? I’ll be working remotely 3-4 days a week for reference and I’m talking about days when I’m remote.

Ya’ll take ya vitamins today?

Hey all just FYI my psych told me in my appointment that stimulants ordered from Express Scripts often give patients problems...including me. Felt like I was taking something totally different.

Single 24 year old here. Recently joined Hinge. I am barely getting any activity. I'm a former OKCupid user and I always got something there. Do people not use Hinge or is there something wrong with me? I'm a fit average height guy and I am not ugly. Looking for LTR especially now in the time of Corona. Didn't bother with human interaction before tbh but this loneliness is creeping up. 😔

Anyone had any luck getting leftover vaccines? Have you waited in line at a site or called ahead?

What’s the best advice/strategy you’ve adopted for lawyering with ADHD?

Please help me rationalize through something:
2 kidneys but can only give 1 (potentially):

1) Cousin: 36, mom of 2, lives a fairly healthy lifestyle
2) Dad: 60-65 YO; kidney failure runs in the family, lives an unhealthy lifestyle but this is dad…

P.S. will go through screening process for both but just want to start thinking about things now

Hey fishes,
My company has made us sign an employment bond for 3 years and exit penalty is 4.5 lakhs. I have completed 2.3 years but I don’t want to continue working in this company anymore. Also I don’t have 4.5 lakhs to pay. So what should I do in this case? If I leave without paying then I won’t get my experience letter.

I've worked with the client for over 7 months now and he still calls me by my dad's name
What do I do 😭😂

I’m extremely “self-made” and grew up in a poor area. Now I earn six figures and manage a team. I try to be extremely self-aware about how casual I can be sometimes b/c I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but it’s hard b/c I naturally tend to have less of a filter than I’d like (very much like the way the culture was where I grew up) - anyone relate??

Is it me or are gushes here mostly Accts or creative? Where are the ops people

What’s a reasonable salary ask for a junior copywriter in Toronto?
First time ever doing this, any good advice you would have wanted to know if you were me?

Has anyone had a good experience in your career progressing from larger agencies to having senior roles at smaller agencies? I've worked at large NYC and LA creative shops, and now many years into my career, I've had more opportunities at smaller/regional agencies. At first, they welcome your experience with bigger clients and campaigns, but soon enough they want you to align with "how we do things around here" and "we know better" even if their approach has not been particularly successful.

P&G tells Campaign they want less Account Execs and more Creatives for their money. My agency has six account people and two creatives on a major client so this makes sense!!

I left an omnicom agency for a Publicis one. My new benefits cost me 250 a paycheck (medical, dental, vision) for my spouse and kids. At omnicom it was 630 per check. That’s fuckin robbery right there.

Anyone heard of or worked for Level Studios? They work for Apple. Wondering if it would have the same weight on your resume and portfolio as in-house.

Do other agencies have a “no hiring people from Vayner” policy or is my inability to land a new job just because I suck?

Good questions to ask interviewees to see if you will get along with them? Or just any questions in general to ask as the interviewer... besides where do you see yourself in 5 years 🙄
