One of my managers attempted a nice thing today. We work from home and he tried to treat us to lunch today with DoorDash. Some of us thought it was phishing and deleted it. 😳Ever try to do something nice at the office that backfired?

That's so nice of them and also so understandable from everyone who deleted the message. I had the same thing happen when I tried to treat my girlfriend to lunch. She wasn't expecting it and declined the call from the Dasher, and because I was an idiot and didn't think to ask her how it was, it ended up sitting on her porch for 4 hours until she finally saw it 😭

That's modern life, we're wrapped up in all this technology and have to be on guard all the time. It can be difficult to do something by surprise because anything that catches us off guard seems shady. I got a surprise package once and there was no indication who it came from, so it turned into an awkward situation. We really just can't have nice things.

We recently went through some online security training too. We had a good laugh and did get them back. I used mine for dinner instead.

Oh noooooo. I can understand why people would think that was spam though. Hopefully they are able to recover the email. I haven't had anything like that happen to me thankfully.

Yes, it was a good laugh too

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
