This is the second time I’ve started a new job remotely. First go around was a struggle getting situated, getting to know folks, overall process, etc. Any tips?

Last month was also the second time I started a new job remotely. Set up 1:1s with as many people as you can during your first few weeks. Not every agency has a camera-on culture (which has its pros and cons), so it can be hard for your coworkers to put a name to a face.

Update - worked in the office three days this week. Got a ton of stuff done, saw friends that I’d been missing, ate free food. It ruled.

Set up a lot of 1:1s and then make sure to keep following up with people.

It's not impossible to make strong social connections via the internet--just look at anyone under 35--you just gotta be more intentional about it.

Who said anything about “making friends”? I thought we were talking about establishing “strong social connections” with the people you spend 1/3 of your day with.

There’s no reason to believe that video 1:1s can replace being live if you want to form strong social connections with people, whether you work with them, hang out with them, date them, etc.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Hi everyone. I was a solution engineer at Oracle. I graduated from college in May and this was my first job out of college so the lay offs were pretty rough. I majored in Supply chain management and I have 2 internships under my belt. Do you guys have any advice or tips on what to do moving forward? I would like to stay in tech and I’m giving it a few weeks before I start pivoting to more traditional supply chain roles. Thanks.

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t

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
