And honestly... we aren’t even FRIENDS. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I NEVER understood this. Work “friends” are ALWAYS complicated. I work with colleagues I like a lot and don’t mind spending time with 40+ hours a week and occasionally going out for a drink. Why do we need to be “friends” or “family”?

Now that we’re all just cubes in a box-no glitz, no glamour, no parties, no expensed dinners, no travel, no conferences, no razzle dazzle-it’s become even more apparent.

True

So so true. I worked at small shops touting we are a family and at a large shop with over 10 years tenure working day and night. It was crickets from my so called friends and family when I got laid off. 🤨🙄

Sorry you’ve been laid off. Stay positive and open to all opportunities!

What makes a toxic work environment?

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?
