Our current slide deck is so dull and mundane. I need a way to lighten the mood. What has worked for you all? I was thinking of incorporating memes, but is that too unprofessional?

Mixed reviews on memes. Canva has been a great resource in making things feel fresh yet professional

I genuinely think that if used correctly memes can bring up morale and bring the team closer together. I recommend finding some that are actually funny and workplace-related, giving people a chance to laugh about the workplace or something that happens at work in a safe way is a good idea in my opinion. I also think they can totally cringe for the wrong audience or at the wrong time or if they're overused though.

Another vote for Canva - I think memes work depending on the audience, we tend to stay away from it for some of the older clients

It will depend on your audience. What has worked for me lately is giving breaks in between, which helps the audience refresh and be ready to go. I hope that helps!

I second Canva. And as far as memes, it really depends on the audience. If you think that will lighten the mood with your audience, go for it. Sometimes people really appreciate something different than the same old slides they've seen forever.

Memes can be a bit of a hit or miss depending on the target marlket. Just gonna have to choose them wisely.

I've seen so many canva suggestions above and I couldn't agree more. A great way to spice up your slides. Also, really easy to use.

I'm a noob with bonds, can someone break down ibonds for me in idiot proof language?

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess

Hi all! I could use some advice! I’ve been in software sales for 8 years now, plus another 10 years spent in Asset Management (changed careers in 2015).

About a year ago, I turned down a role from Saleforce bc I took a job with a “hedge fund”. Unfortunately, i learned later the company didn’t exist - a con man story (not worth explaining). I did a poor job of maintaining a relationship with the SFDC manager, whom I really liked, and now I’m without a job. And advice on reconnecting ?
