Is this really a question? Def not unless you have another offer you’re ready to take

Personal appointment, but best course of action is to say nothing

Doc appt

Dentist. Doctor. I usually just say I'll be out from x until x.

Doctor

Like other people said, doctor. But people probably won’t ask. I didn’t go into the office for like two months and nobody even said anything.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging.
