Y'all on some serious koolaid if you think they don't lay off 1s. I know a lot of people who have been 1s and 2s for years let go this year because they were being paid too much or finished project at a bad time. Also a guy EA posted a similar thing last week too. It doesn't matter what your rating is - you are ALL just as disposable as the person next to you. We all know ratings are arbitrary anyways

I've had my run-ins with people who like to linger in their thoughts and spend time circling in conversation because, whether they knew it or not, they were not sure what they were looking to achieve.

This has burned me in the past (e.g., Hours spent revising material, unnecessary back-and-forth communication with clients).

Hence, when you are assigned something or create something for yourself, make sure you are fully aware of your end goal, so you know what you are working towards and how t
