So… I just got told that I might lose my job but I might be able to keep my job. They’re not sure. They want my expertise for changes that need to happen, but I still might lose my job? In your opinion, is there any way to negotiate my salary?

Agree, but resume submission rarely works. Any other thoughts for the creative industry?

New job ASAP. Don't work too much without getting paid, they may default on any contract work post layoff. Ask for a severance. One or two weeks for every year you have been there.

SEM1 - Sounds like great advice. Thank you!

You most likely won’t be able to negotiate up.
Is this because of a merger? What’s the context?

Shoot, I'd apply elsewhere and hit them with the "you've lost x employees, my information is valuable, give me a portion of their salary and I'll stay on board and give my insight." If the company is tanking, don't go down with the ship unless you're investing.

You probably can't negotiate salary, but you may be able to negotiate a bonus or severance amount to stay on and provide your expertise for a certain amount of time.

Thanks. I’m going to investigate this.

Negotiate salary? Prolly not. Negotiate severance pay? Maybe

One thing we've been getting a lot of feedback about is recruiter "ghosting".

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
