My current ad agency is a hot mess. No order, no system, everything is rushed and last minute. Literally losing hair over here, any recommendations? Preferably black owned?

Commenting to stay here. I feel the exact same. I went to a bigger agency thinking it would provide more resource and less stressful environment. And while it’s a bit less stressful, the account is a hot mess and there’s no structure or company culture.

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?

My 64 y/o mom is really struggling with her mental health and refuses to acknowledge it or take action. She is already difficult to have a relationship with, toxic, always shaming, blaming, dismissive and refuses to have important conversations.
6 years ago her husband/my step dad was killed suddenly and tragically. He had a man cave room that she has not touched since. It is beyond filthy, unsanitary and poor living conditions.

If I make attempts to clean, she has a meltdown. How to fix?

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like?
