I’m sick of the publicity hounds in this business. These self important “thought leaders” who have strong opinions on every damn thing and they make sure LinkedIn knows about it daily.

My fave is when LinkedIn is like, “see what so and so is saying about Digital Media Trends!” And it’s some random who was a crappy project manager 3 years ago and got fired.
Sure…he’s got opinions I need to read! I swear there’s back channel buying of this content going on so these idiots can post something that seems smarter than they are.

How much are you getting paid? How many years of experience do you have? What specialty? What is the metropolitan city you work in?

I live in south Florida and work in the city of Fort Lauderdale. I work at a level one trauma/teach hospital (with 750ish beds). I have a total of 1 year of experience on a medical/surgical telemetry trauma floor. My base pay just went up to $28.65.

I know I do not have that much experience but I'm starting to feel like I should be getting paid more.

I read that you can tax deduct medical expenses not covered by insurance (incl. IVF treatment, meds, acupuncture, etc.) for the amount that exceeds 7.5% of your gross income.

Thank you!

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship.

My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
