McDonald’s fired their CEO for having a relationship with an employee. How many agencies would have their leadership decimated if this was a rule in advertising?

If the works get done and no harm is done, I don’t care if you marry, date, fuck or have an affair with someone else. If it is consensual, let them be.

It’s fine for same level colleagues to date, but leadership dating (or, really, having affairs with) staff is the little secret that ain’t secret that kills morale. It’s funny how they don’t think we know, though, that part amuses me. (Hint: we always know even if we never say a word.)

It’s like the flat earther thing, I can’t respect you when I know you’re a dirtbag cheating on your wife. In what other ways are you dishonest? A few, I’ll wager.

Bingo. Also, I know you make terrible decisions. How these people get continual passes is mind boggling.

Something stinks about the McD CEO. He doubled stock price. If it was consensual and really one time, I don’t think he would be fired. There’s more to story.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
