Is my department being downsized: an experiment in anxiety.

So… two months ago I started a gig as a CD. Good agency. Very talented people. Pretty quickly I realized that my new job is kinda about keeping up with incoming emails/teams messages. I can’t handle it. For the last month I have been sleeping in, getting out of bed after 11am, like I prefer. Those notifications start coming at around 8am and all I do is press those suggested replies on teams, not even half awake, pretty much still dreaming, and it works. I’m getting lots of good feedback.

Hey sharks,
How to get into freshers data science role as a non-tech professional?

At your firm, absent extenuating circumstances, where is the line drawn between “paralegal work” and “attorney work”? For example, who would draft a standard form motion for extension of time?

Anyone considered moving to an internally facing role? Or know of someone who’s made the switch and willing to discuss ?

Does Bloomberg pay well for cloud architect or SA ROLES?

What is a Senior - ll role looks like in Deloitte USI? Can someone share their experience?

TEARI spot bonus - Was told by my counselor that there’s cash coming for our group bc we’re 59% above plan and 5% YoY. Paid 10/30

All I want to do is curl up in bed with hot tea and a good book. Recommendations for if I ever achieve said dream?

Good book recommendations? Male 🐟 here.

Has anyone bought an X-Chair office chair?

Curious...what did you find to be the most challenging part of bootcamp?

Any Amazon counsel or other FAANG attorneys willing to share how their comp review has worked? I’m really happy with my offer(lower base, really high signing bonus and decent RSUs) and was told their would be yearly comp reviews but wondering how that plays out the first few years...

Why do FAANG companies pay above market not just for Eng talent but other non-core functions? Like HR or other functions that are largely similar anywhere else

Hi fishes, pls help-

Anyone have any advice on how to convince an absentee owner to invest in his own business? Even just being at least present here. I've tried everything I can think of and I can't even get a text reply from the guy

Been I'm a new city for almost 3 years now and still haven't made any close friends.

So… two months ago I started a gig as a CD. Good agency. Very talented people. Pretty quickly I realized that my new job is kinda about keeping up with incoming emails/teams messages.

Out of work. Turned down a job b/c it was too junior (title and pay). Would have left first chance I got. Didn't want to screw them, but feel like I just screwed myself 🤔

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

When you have a really good interview on Friday and they say “look out for an update pretty soon”

Already mid Monday and second guessing myself.

The turkeys nest is where you find inspiration

Clients look at me like I’m the agency research person and all I can think is “I want no part of your shitty concept testing because that’s not real research that will ever lead to anything insightful

5 years in and I haven’t had a single idea. What am I doing here? 😞

I'm thinking about cutting off my beard.

I totally just got crop dusted! I freaking hate open office floor plans.

I late night drunk made and ate a salad yesterday. #adulting

My personal life makes me want to die and work is my happy place ....

I had a dream about being naked in the office. Even my dreams are clichéd!

This open office plan sucks. Besides the constant din, we've got 3 agencies crammed on to one floor, sharing conference rooms and huddle rooms. Agency identity is lost and it feels like an ad factory

Paid media team always seems like the most boring team in the office after HR. And they seem to always to look down upon organic/social team. Its not rocket science you know?

Hearing the sir Martin announcement today, makes you wonder if he is a crazy old guy or a brilliant marketer

got excited about dental work today because it meant I got to spend an hour away from work during the day. is that super depressing?

I wake up every night holding my breath lmao. Idk if that’s classic sleep apnea or if my body is subliminally trying to off itself while I’m not paying attention.

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.
