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 It's not your fault it's outdated.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 dated my ex for about 4 years and before we broke up we had moved in together. We lived together for about 6 months before breaking up. I kept the apartment and she moved out. Is this something I should tell my current girlfriend without it coming up naturally? She has told me she doesn’t care about what happened in my past relationships and that she is happy to talk about them but that we don’t need to. I’m just not sure if I should tell her about it, or wait for it to come up in conversation

I’m looking for a new job!! It has been impossible to build a good relationship with my manager, he isn’t transparent with me and never provides any constructive feedback so I have no idea how I’m performing. I recently asked for a raise since I completed all my assigned projects for this year plus a few that I took on due to resignations and was denied with no reason. I’m so checked out and looking for a new job and manager that I can learn from and will help me grow, any help is appreciated!
