War correspondents, how did that become your focus?

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff. Feeling a bit stale and like the last year has been a tactical grind. I want to brush up on modern thinking for our industry - the latest and greatest marketing books, strategy perspectives, creative self help, etc. to feel more alive as we start 2022.

Comment your favs and THANK YOU in advance!

E.g., they must be into manga/anime, but not to the point they drag me to a con to cosplay

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's a bad idea to bite your fingernails if you're already chewing gum.

What do when you’ve already accepted a job offer but then received a better offer? Does it look bad on you to decline the first offer?

I have an offer for a senior technical accountant role in HCOL. The base is about 103K. But I'm required to work on-site basically every week day. Due to this, how much more % wise do you think I can reasonably try to negotiate for? Thanks!

Also is the food reimbursement offered in the form of monthly Sodexo coupons?

Currently interviewing for a role at Amazon that is listed as a CW position, but I have direct experience in the product and capabilities this role is seeking, and the hiring manager is moving me forward. What is the likelihood that if I tried to negotiate from a CW to FTE, I would get the position?

Insane how many news outlets are out there and how so few of them are objective and unbiased.

With so many news sources using a subscription system, there needs to be something like a Netflix for news articles.

I'm a journalist with 5 years of experience in public relations. I got offered a job as a production assistant where I'll have to so tasks related to my experience in PR, but they want to pay me as a junior journalist. Should I accept this?

SO excited about the new iPhone 14! I currently own an 11 Pro Max and never really upgraded because this one was still fine, but I feel like I want something newer. Has anyone purchased the 14 yet?

@Capco what’s the comms/content space like? I’ve heard lots of mixed reviews re: consultancy jobs, but that’s not my focus. I ask as I’m looking into a potential position at Capco, but concerned I could be leaving a more “secure” company (BofA) for a raise at another org. that has a lot of room for improvement.

Does anyone here have any experience working as a White House Correspondent?

Is there anything you would change about the career path you took in the industry?

… any suggestions on courses (self-directed or more formal) to learn SEO?

I’ve been an editor for a number of years, but always pulled and pushed to handle other crises that show up daily, and learning by doing doesn’t appear to work in the world today.

Thanks for any guidance offered.

Just found out the "roadside assistance" for my Tesla doesn't cover emergency battery recharging. Wish I realized that before it became an issue

Has anyone seen the movie Spotlight? It made me think again about the passion to find the perfect news, the one that would be really helpful and necessary to society.

In August, Joe Biden referred to the "extreme MAGA philosophy" as "semi-fascism."

Do you think Donald Trump or other Republicans can accurately be described as fascists? Do you think journalists should describe them as fascists?

On the news, there was a report that "stress" causes negative health effects. Um. OK. Don't people feel "stress" just by being alive? Like, what would be the control group that you could measure the results against? I don't know why, but it always makes me wonder

What do you do when you need a break from the news during the day? Sometimes I find it hard to step away even for a 30 min lunch

Just read that Dodge said that their new electric car will be "super loud." Isn't the point of electric cars being quiet so people enjoy them more?

Are the reports of the US running out of diesel in the next few weeks accurate? And if so, how will we transport food or anything else from one state to another???

If you work in PR: what is your salary and how many years of experience do you have?

It's an exhausting time to be working in this industry, to say the least. How do you prevent taking your work home with you?
