This guy will forever have my respect. During Covid amid all freelancers being laid off, I sent him and his staff an email. Please. Don’t. Do it. This email was straight to the point. Most of us were permalancers. If you fired us, your accounts would have no creatives. And we’d never find work for months. Now I can’t say for certain he read my email personally. But I did get a response from his assistant. And I was never laid off. Myself and countless others. This man, man. I owe you more than words can say.

Did you have client billable work to do? If yes, that is why you weren’t laid off.
Not from the goodness of anyone’s heart. Loads of people were laid off during Covid, especially from accounts that slashed marketing budgets like airlines, oil, hotels, travel etc.

Has this happened to anyone else? I used to eat a lot of unhealthy, processed foods a few months ago. I transformed my ways and have eaten quite healthy since. Today I ate some cookies and chips after a long time, and I feel like shit. Stomach upset, heavy chest and just really lethargic. I know the lesson is to not eat unhealthy, but I didn’t think it would wreck my body like this

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
