Pet peeves: I'm now officially not responding to any Teams/Slack messages with anyone who only ask how I am/"happy <insert day>" and waiting for my response without also getting to what they want. Just get to the ask. The exception is the coworkers who I actually know ask randomly without needing anything. 🙃

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Just me here hoping that slack never adds the “read” notification on messages.

Anyone figured out a good way to keep hearings public? I'm trying to figure out if I can get the courts to post zoom links for hearings somewhere.

Are forums dying out? Are they still worth developing for a new community, or would you go straight to Discord/Slack?

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

Are marketing agencies really required to have their employees come into the office? We all work using computers and sharing our files in the cloud, the only time we see each other is for meetings, which can absolutely be done through Zoom. How is your job handling this atm?

Has anyone had a client request zoom and virtual house showings?

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event. I suggested we still host our multicultural club assemblies on zoom for the school. Anyone have experience with zoom assemblies to promote a positive climate in DL? Thanks!

I am going to have HR discussion with FMR today.

What approaches have you used to enforce data consistency for ML services? System and conf tests can be written definitively for SW applications but it becomes challenging when Data variability exists ?

Stop with the unnecessary meetings. PLEASE.

Is New York even worth it for advertising? I just looked for apartments and almost spit out my water on the prices for such bad quality.

Hi Guys, Can anyone please let me know howz the M4 band in LTI and what are the responsibilities mainly.

How much are your biweekly paychecks after taxes, insurance, 401k contributions, etc. and how much of each paycheck do you tuck into savings?

My boss asked me to submit my career aspirations after bringing in someone in a new position over me. Is this a bill shit assignment? Has anyone else ever asked to do this?

Wet mouth noises...😖😖😖🗯🔥

What is the salary like for a AWS Architect in consulting with 14 years IT experience?

Is making 10 times your initial salary in 25 years at the same company good progression? Started at 20k and making 210k.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

If everything is “asap”, nothing is “asap”

When you have a really good interview on Friday and they say “look out for an update pretty soon”

Already mid Monday and second guessing myself.

I had a dream about being naked in the office. Even my dreams are clichéd!

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

I just accepted an offer for a smaller niche shop in a smaller city and I'm so pumped about it. Hardly a confession, but I don't really have that many people I can share my excitement w/ before I quit

Hearing the sir Martin announcement today, makes you wonder if he is a crazy old guy or a brilliant marketer

Asking vendors for multiple triple bids for multiple potential campaign ideas before one has been chosen or approved by the client should be punishable by unremovable AirPods looping GaryVee podcasts.

I wake up every night holding my breath lmao. Idk if that’s classic sleep apnea or if my body is subliminally trying to off itself while I’m not paying attention.

I think all the directors working on my account are just plain dumb and over controlling. But I have nowhere to go, so i'll stick around for a bit.

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

My personal life makes me want to die and work is my happy place ....

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

I’d trade my mountain view for “what are you watching on Netflix” by the coffee machine

I’ve gotten to the point that if I’m not completely slammed busy with work sweating my ass off, I feel bored and have caught myself before asking for more work, trying to remember to enjoy the lulls

It’s starting to get pitch black at 4:30.
Time to go home and fall asleep.
Sorry fam.

Clients look at me like I’m the agency research person and all I can think is “I want no part of your shitty concept testing because that’s not real research that will ever lead to anything insightful

I hate how my boss always goes on loooong monologue. What could take an hour of meeting turns into 3 hours.

Selfishly, I don’t want lock down to end. I’m enjoying not having to be in the office and the reduced pressure of a more low-key social life has been secretly quite nice. Anyone else?
