Many companies have these strict policies about what you can and cannot post on social media, which is fine and all, but the second you try to address a concern or highlight something in your workplace that could be improved, they will come down on you like the hammer of Thor.

My 70+ year old dad just got on Facebook and kind of rocking it! He is just on there spreading the positivity. Ha ha

And he only had to create 4 accounts to do it.

Masks at open houses?

With flu season (and COVID season?) just around the corner, I’m thinking of asking buyers to mask up at showings. Good idea or am I going overboard?

Just moved into an apartment in Old Town. The insulation for both sound and heat is terrible. I can hear everything going on outside and am nervous that the heat/gas bill will be insane.

We live near a train stop (~200 yards away) and hear it crystal clear.

Do you think my landlord will do anything to fix it if we ask? I’m more concerned about the noise. Any tips?

What's a guilty pleasure you indulge in at work?

In need of advice: I am starting a full time role (Senior Consultant) in an industry that is my post-MBA goal. I want to start MBA Fall 2022. Does it look bad to AdCom if I apply R1 having been in my job for 1 month? (Will have 1 year when I attend). Thanks!

Any suggestions? Appreciative of any leads...

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

Recently, some of my family members are diagnosed with a rare diseases. When you look at the statistics, these are so many of these ‘rare’ conditions and cumulatively they are not rare.

These family members conditions made me reevaluate how I want to spend my life. I am 35 this year and I can’t decide if I should take great vacations with my kids or keep living a frugal life. Do you have the same dilemma?

Hey 🐠 , how do you guys shop for car insurance? Having a hard time finding a true aggregator site for comparison—they all direct me to individual insurers for quotes. My rate at GEICO just went up 40% so want to shop around a bit…

Anyone open to chatting about their career journey and why they'd like to get an MBA? I'm only 24 and am trying to figure out how this can fit in my life and would love to hear how others have done it and why! Just feel pretty overwhelmed at the moment

Today I was thinking about different sales experiences I’ve had–both as the buyer & the salesman. What was the best and/or worst sales experience you’ve ever had as a customer?

I've been trying to get my foot in the door with TikTok by creating a series of content that has never been seen before.

But it's hard for me to get views because I don't know how to use SEO or social media marketing effectively.

Lately I’ve been seriously considering making the transition to product marketing. Current PMMs please weigh in — on average, how many hours do you actively work in a day?

I have been promised a promotion three times now, but when the time comes, I'm told I'm not there yet. Why promise something if you clearly don't want to execute it?

What’s a recent achievement (personal or professional) that you’ve experienced?

Does anyone work at Airgas or have experience with this company (not available on Fishbowl)?

What are your favourite free SEO (technical and/onpage) courses or certificates?

Tech startup or big tech company? And why?

Are people here allowed to use AI advertising tools at their work? I got beta access to one and made a bunch of ads and didn't tell my boss because it saved me so much time..... Scared to bring it up. Are you allowed to use AI advertising tools at work?

What's the biggest stereotype about the marketing industry?

What steps should I take to become a marketing manager in 4 years? I'm currently a coordinator but I'm very goal-oriented. Determined to achieve this!

How many meetings a week do you find necessary when there aren't any special launches and/or campaigns?

Is it worth it to leave a current FTE perm role to work for Google as an freelancing executive producer, 6+ contract with possible extensions pending budget, performance etc? Debating the massive brand name and experience but leaving job security etc. for it

A real gem from Henry Ford: "stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time."

Wish me luck: I just took a job at a new agency in which I'll get paid double as the creative director for a team of 30 people. I'm ecstatic, this is my dream!

Looking for some UGC gigs. I can do unboxing and demos. Rates start at $100 for a video, and $20 per photo. which is significantly lower than others in the market. Just trying to get more content creation under my belt. I specialize in social media as a director in a marketing agency, so I know what will perform. Give me a holler if you need UGC for your brands! :)

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff. Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!

Does anyone have any experience with General Motor’s HireVue process?

I am interviewing for an agency and they haven't extended any offers but want me to provide them with all sorts of documents. Is this sus or am I just overtly wary?
