Been off for 2 years, best thing you can do for yourself imo.

I never have to see people post pictures of their guns saying it didn’t go out and shoot someone on its own the day after a mass shooting 🙄🤮.

Yup, spending less time on social media is great. I've decreased my time spend on it, but I've already started to see the posts about how "if you're a trump supporter, then you can defriend me" lol. In all honesty, I pray for these people who think like this about Trump supporter's.

You guys do realize that reading and posting here is....social media?

This isn’t constant political bs/ old friends from high school or college humbleflexing.

This is just constant bitching about your job, work memes, seeing what dumb stuff your company did today, and most importantly laughing at the singles bowl.

It’s still social media sure, but it’s different and less personal.

I kid. It's drives me bonkers. Funny - I can't log into my Facebook on my phone as I'm too lazy to go through the password reset option and I've found myself happy not having access to it throughout the day.

I have unfriended or unfollowed all the toxic people in my feeds and it has made such a huge difference. Now, I just see the content I want - Facebook is basically my friends who post kids or pets or cooking or travel stuff. Insta is the same except also famous people or accounts that post the same content (travel, food, animals). No politics. I just don’t want to hear it or see it. I honestly don’t care what Jennifer from 3rd grade’s views on abortion are. I really don’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I do go on twitter for political stuff but limit it and and in time out until well after election. It’s just nasty there.

Where will you learn about the news?

I deleted my Facebook around 5 years ago, but I used Instagram and Twitter daily up until a few months ago. Politics makes people crazy, don't they know the rule? It gets a lot better once you're not bombarded by people spewing the same talking points over and over. You still can't avoid friends and family though, I just keep my mouth shut and try to change the subject whenever politics comes up, or I just leave the room.

Hi! I’ve been a voluntary benefits agent with a few different carriers for 5 1/2 years. I’m currently the AE for 75+ accounts. I am completely burnt out on prospecting for new groups and wish to transition into a career without sales quotas. Could be in insurance or another industry. My favorite part of my role now is educating/counseling people on benefit options. I’m wondering if there are others who’ve been in the same boat. Open to any suggestions!

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
