That Airheads Halloween smell my feet foot spray idea is literally a long walk.

What happens to your shares if you are partially, or not even 1 yr vested at a pre-IPO company and the company goes public? When you continue on your vesting schedule, what price do you purchase your vested shares at?

Trying to build a case for my agency to hire our first CS!

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.

How to handle your own procrastination? Any tips/advice?

Saturday night live is getting good again.

How long is it sustainable to talk to someone without meeting in person due to covid? I find myself getting bored because the meeting in person is what determines whether we actually vibe.

Anyone join this bowl yet? Sound off!

Hey I wanted to make freinds with lawyers and people going to school to be lawyers, comment down below thanks

The only reason I ever pursued casual sex (a couple times when I was 17-19) was to not get my heart broken. It always sucked and was so boring. I don’t understand when people say they want sex with no emotions. It’s the best part.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

Has anyone ever seen Accenture counter an offer for a Consultant? I’ve got an offer elsewhere for 40% more base but wanted to see if there was any chance ACN could counter with a off cycle raise or one off bonus?

I got Medical Reimbursement of around in current month salary, but I don't think I had applied any bill or submitted any such amount. Can someone tell what exactly is this amount for?

Any word on Swift in Portland?

Can someone explain the benefit of SAG to me? I obviously don’t deal with production that much but from everything I’ve heard it just sounds like a giant mafia racket…

If you could change one thing about the ad agency culture, what would it be?

Anyone willing to share their companies project management career path? They seem to vary and I’m curious what titles are out there.

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

How long did you stay at your first job?
And what made you change places?

Anyone participate in the 4A's Institute? Philly presentations are coming up this week! Any recommendations?

Men 🐟: Is the unwritten rule of urban spacing dead?! Too many guys ponying up nice and close lately. Ladies, do you have any similar unwritten rules of the bathroom?

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

How do approach your boss and tell her you are unhappy because you feel like you haven’t received recognition for your award winning campaign that has won 20+ awards and you have seen your other coworkers get promoted while they fail to properly recognize you in front of your team. Thank you

Coworker (we’re the same level) has a tendency to use “I” statements and then proceeds to present the entire deck that we both contributed to equally…. So annoyed. How to get across to our bosses that I worked on it too?
