How can I add multiple characteristics within one cell and make sure that a pivot table can read both values independently if needed?

I’d like a pivot table / formula to be able to count that there are technically two “reds” in this data set. Any tips?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Hi all! I need some advice. I came in at a lower level than I wanted and turns out, I did a shitty deal at negotiating.

Like percentage wise, with the fact that I’m about 7-10K underpaid compared to other people with the current title?
