49 cd/cw in Detroit too. Laid off in September. Been able to get some freelance but it’s pretty scary out here.

I’m very sorry to hear that. I fucking hate ageism, it makes no sense to me.
Out of curiosity, because I have no positions to offer right now, would you be willing to be creatives again? I ask because in my country it’s normal to have very senior creatives, sometimes making more money than CDs, but here in America I just don’t see this.

Look into Ludwig+. Growing fast right now.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
