Managers - do any of you have the ability to check in on your direct reports’ webcams without them knowing to make sure they’re working? The green light next to the camera keeps lighting up on my company computer and I’m getting paranoid haha

Get a camera cover. 💪

Agreed. I cover mine unless I have to have it uncovered. I don't want anyone spying on me.

Never heard of this. Crazy invasion of privacy.

I have far more important things to worry about…I don’t even care where they are when they’re in the office…

Lol no, but IT probably could if they reallllly wanted to. Buy a little sliding cover on Amazon. They’re like, $5.

That is crazy and also illegal since you can’t spy on someone in their own home. For now stick a post-it over your camera when you’re not using it.

That is really creepy! I did hear there is a zoom bug that can happen if you haven’t quit the app. Try to always fully quit out and see if it’s still happening. But def cover it up too until you’re sure!

Um, whoa! I'd have that thing covered up in a heartbeat. yikes

Camera cover. Like $5 on Amazon

Friend’s company wants to fly them out for 2 weeks for a project without paying for their flight home during the weekend in between. This is ridiculous, right? I feel like this is absurdly unreasonable, esp given the additional hotel stays would add up to a similar cost of another round trip flight anyway

I am a strategist and have been told InTouch is a “strategy-driven” organization (which is unusual but would be amazing). But another poster just said it’s account driven (which is typical). What’s your experience and how do you know?

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative? I know plenty of smart account people, strategists, data analysts etc. who would almost certainly make more money and enjoy more autonomy in a different field, or at least in-house. What’s the allure if you don’t represent the product?

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

Is there an online marketplace for SquareSpace portfolio templates, i.e., a place where you can buy a template, download it, then build it yourself? Alternatively, is there a place where I can hire someone to recommend a SquareSpace template, gussy up said template with type and/or color tweaks to make it less template-y (no functionality changes needed), and then design a simple logo? Looked at Squarespace Experts but seems a bit intense for what I need. Google isn't giving me much.

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.
