Just want to thank the people in this bowl for giving me advice on several posts awhile back post-COVID layoffs. Had taken on 2 other (senior) people’s jobs/duties and then successfully managed and executed 3 major projects, I finally asked my new boss (team lead) about a title change and I’m glad I did! It was definitely something he had not thought about but could see the clear reasoning behind it and was willing to go to HR to ask if it was possible.

But in any cases really appreciate the advice people give out in this bowl. I know sometimes there’s a lot of negative and cynicism thrown around but thanks for being down to earth and willing to help out the little guys :)

The major blocker is that we are currently in a promotion and raise freeze so he’s worried that if I get a title promotion my pay will lag behind. But what if it’s just a delayed raise until Jan 1 2021? And then come performance review season in April/May any raise would be on top of that.

Yes, definitely going to keep pushing, I’d rather take the title than nothing now.

So I guess the question here is how to reframe bragging into something more acceptable...

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
