This channel has been awfully quiet lately. Thought I could share some positive news for once. Been freelancing on the brand side for a tech company. Saw an unlabeled/unexpected calendar invite for 15 minutes today and assumed the worst. But nope. ECD just wanted to catch up. In fact, talked about bringing me on FT sooner than my contract ends. So…yeah. Feeling much better than I have in a really long time. Christmas 🎄 isn’t cancelled this year!!!

You should mention that unlabeled 15 minute invites will send people into a panic.

Yeah, I don’t think my ECD is aware cause they were at the same place (brand side) over 10 years.

Love this! Good for you!

Oh HELL YEAH!! Congrats.

My annual perf discussion is monday morning. I work on a tough team for a tough place. I think Im a pretty good/almost high performer but only around 3 years and my boss seems to still act like I’m brand new (lifer boomer). I try to tell myself he has 6 direct reports and has to do this with everyone, Im no more or no less special - but I hate these convos and negative feedback even when most of it is unsurprising/fair feedback. Any tips? Just need to get through it! HR people are not immune!

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
