My boss refuses to take my advice and update our website, which is stuck in the 2010s. Why hire a marketer if you won't allow any changes to our marketing?

He is one of those bosses who micromanage all the processes of his company. I would recommend that you get out of there right now because your ability to create will be more and more stuck.

Those are the worst bosses because they don't let you advance but they still demand results for a job that they don't let you do, everything is very crazy but at the same time it's embarrassing.

What a pity friend, run get out of there don't let that company take you away from creation, your imagination is prey to the obligation to follow orders from a neanderthal.

Why is he refusing? You said it yourself, if he hired you to take care of marketing, he should trust you and let you do your job.

Ugh, I hate bosses like this. Let me guess, he's an older dude who thinks he knows best. Have a serious chat with him, show him his website analytics and let him decide for himself.

Get your entire team on a meeting and tell them about the importance of having a good website nowadays for your business. If they don't pay attention to you, then don't pay attention to the website. It's not your fault it's outdated.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
