I’m just making sure I’m still doing things right for our industry. (I’m in advertising). Good friend runs a small manufacturing company. They are out visiting clients, shaking hands. Dropping off donuts and having dinners. This is nuts right? Please tell me it isn’t just me that is still only connecting via zoom. I’m worried because all of those things were a big part of my job before. But not now.

If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Seems that the vaccine that usually takes more than 10 years to develop, test for side effects and go through the regulation process is being very fast tracked to roll out - which is a super great thing to potentially eradicate the virus. on the other side of the spectrum, people with life sciences n healthcare insights, how reliable and safe would you say vaccine (being fast tracked) is...?

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.
