Are you working remote, in-office, hybrid, or employees’ choice?

98% of just the creative dept is remote. And probably 85% lives in the city. Some moved to other states during the pandemic.

But the other departments like account, and PMs tend to go to the office to work. Like 80%. It’s up to them to decide. Though we have people working in other states in those dept for sure.

Creatives do see each other for shoots. And team get togethers. And those are plenty.

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

How are you all feeling about going into the holiday season while being remote? Missing the company holiday parties, or happy to be able to do your own thing?

You’re either not valuable to your company and/or your job isnt that important if you’re able to take PTO and not at least send some e-mails.

It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Gonna start a site called “pandemic stock copy”

First VO script: (free without subscription)

VO:
When there’s more than 2 people around you at any moment,

That’s 2 more people than zero.

That’s twice as much as none,

Twice the chance that you’re done.

And done means no-fun.

And when there’s no-fun, there’s no sun.

And no-sun means you’re missing out on SUNNY-D two-for-one.

Because two-for-one, in the sun, is better than none.

One mask. One us. One fun. One sun.
