I used to think cheese sticks came from cheese trees.

Why would it not be ok to admit that? You learned it eventually.

I used to think chaos was pronounced "chows." Things fall through the cracks sometimes lol

As a Jew I find it funny and of course it’s ok. Also it’s easily the least fun of all our holidays so my advice would be to celebrate a different one with a Jewish friend :)

Purim is the best Jewish holiday.

I used to think “fringe benefits” were “French benefits.”

To be fair if you say “fringe” with a French accent it sounds like “French”

I once thought those bales of hay wrapped in white covers were giant marshmallows.

My favorite confession so far

Executives - what’s the best way to position this to potential employers?

One large part of my job is optimizing VP teams after layoffs, as companies will have 80% of the staff but still have 110% (or more) of the goals.

Are there specific tech job titles I should target and how do you recommend I showcase this skill?

There’s a lot of tech layoffs happening these days and I’d like to help both the company, and the team members left behind to carry the workload, be successful.

Someone used my mug while I worked from home yesterday and now the top is missing. I feel like this is a metaphor for my agency en masse.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
