My agency is forcing us to go back to the office starting tomorrow with 5 days a week in office. The only way out of it is if you have valid reason such as living with someone who is immunocompromised. Also might add we have to sit at our desks with masks ON all day. I’m super uncomfortable and I guess it’s time to find a new job. Can people let me know NYC based agencies hiring with a flex RTO plan??

Hi Fishies, I’m looking for a Creative Strategist role (+ have copywriting bg). Lemme know if you know someone who’s hiring!

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Crushed my final two interviews today. I will hear back sometime next week for a verbal offer for a Tech Solutions Consultant on the xWS team. Leaning towards an L4 but maybe they give L5 if the interview feedback was as good as I thought it went. Any thoughts on how I should negotiate base and equity? Maybe ask for sign on too?

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
