I haven’t had a CD do that but I had a CCO that would talk for hours (plural) without making much sense and then we (including ECD’s lmao) would be left scrambling trying to figure out his genius idea.

This is my ECD. It’s not even just the idea, how we present it suddenly becomes a million slides in a deck.

Yup, I’ve experienced this at different places. It’s definitely an ego issue. Our line of work is only as difficult as we make it. Most of the time it’s the client that’s throwing curve balls, but sometimes it can be internal.

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed
