Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

"You can't please everyone!" Being in customer support for 4+ years, that statement has never been truer.

I’d be so much happier doing customer service through live chat instead of phones. Are there jobs that hire just for online support, or do they all require you to take calls?

In my company, we have a staff of customer support agents to resolve user concerns, but they prefer to complain on social media and never call the number we give them. Should we transfer the agents to the Social Media platforms or insistently try to get them to call us?

Will the customer support future be led by chatbots or will we still be necessary? lol

Hiring managers, what do you look for as you’re going through resumes?

My company is receiving backlash for…let’s say a poor decision that has gone viral in my city. For 3 days, almost everyone who has called customer support is just looking to insult and yell at us. This isn’t our fault :/

When a customer asks how you are, what goes through your head before saying “I’m great, thanks”?

Are you worried about how quickly AI support is growing?
