Their Copywriter role has been opened for at least three months already. Not sure if they are really hiring or it’s an infamous ghost job.

I work with them a lot. Confirming all of the above comments on toxicity.

I’ve met their founder and she’s a piece of work

Also worked with the founder, she is a huge narcissistic diva and will blow up at any slight inconvenience.

Not sure if this is still true after they were acquired, but I believe the creative director is married to the founder. I’m only speculating as, you know, an anonymous loser on Fishbowl, but that could maybe contribute to an interesting dynamic.

Not sure who came first, but Knix really successfully diversified its product offering over time.

That was the case when my friend worked there, as a writer, before acquisition. It was not a good environment.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experiences everyone. I really appreciate it!

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.
