What are your agency’s policies regarding COVID? BBDO is still having us come in. My specific team mandates us to “come in but don’t sit remotely close to anyone”. It’s a bit nonsensical/shocking...

For the parents with babies - is anyone finding formula in stock? We give my daughter enfamil nutramigen and cannot find it anywhere. Looked at CVS, Wegmans, Target, Harris Teeter. Even pediatrician didn’t have samples.

I’m a recent grad struggling to look after my health when I’m stuck in a cubicle 10+ hours a day. How do you juggle a healthy lifestyle with long hours at a desk?

I’m behind on my IG game & want to catch up. I went to a few events before COVID that I want to share but feel weird posting it now. Do I put throwbackthursday or beforeCOVID hashtags? Something else?

My doctor doesn’t want to add estrogen to prime before Ivf. Is that a red flag ?

People that take medication, do you find that using marijuana in the evening helps with sleep?

I have an H1b which I received in 2019 and was valid till august2021, due to covid I wasn't able to travel and then I switched to another firm last year in November. If I get visa transfer, will it provide me a validity back as I haven't used any on site time on that visa.

TIA

Can anyone recommend a good nutritionist / nutrition plan? I am trying to figure out the best meal plan for myself.

I’ve only been a vet assistant for 3 months and I am so overwhelmed. It’s so stressful! Does dealing with the pace get easier?

My agency is making salary cut backs cause of covid-19. Whole agency at 80%. Because I'm on a junior salary in Manchester that means 80% is less than minimum wage. Do I have any rights?

Anyone taken the GD test after having covid recently? I have my test in 10 days and I'm currently recovering from covid.

Is a TRX sufficient for getting back into shape? I’ve definitely wasted these past two months but I probably won’t be going back to work until after July so I’ve got time to build a foundation once gyms open back up at a decent capacity

How does this work? … I love long walks on empty city streets admiring the architecture while suffocating behind my mask. Anyone interested in breathing some fresh life into me as we lock masks and eyes in a deep stare of our future. Serious inquires only. 31/M

Anyone have wrist guard recommendations for weightlifting? I have small wrists and they don’t love a lot of pressure.

How does Keto work if you are on the verge of diabetes so have to watch sugar?

I’m starting the IVF process and planning to do my first egg retrieval in early June. I’m hoping to do back-to-back retrievals due to my age and hoping to have at least a few healthy embryos before we try our first transfer. I have Anthem BCBS has anyone done this and has insurance/fertility benefits covered it? Thanks!

Does anyone know what vaccinations are looking like? Where to get them and when they’ll be available?

For folks that are in the interview process, are u negotiating for best salary or just taking what you get , asking because market is slow cause of Covid.

COVID 19 crisis should make all states compact for licensing. Precious time was lost while nurses who wanted to work waited for states to pass emergency laws.

I'm seeing a meme float around on facebook today regarding VA payments for anthrax shot related issues if it came from the squalene laced lots the FDA identified. Any truth to it? I'm skeptical.

Hello fishes,

I'm not from Mumbai and am planning to visit Mumbai for 5 10 days to do a workation kind of thing. Can you suggest something budget (like hostel or anything else). Preferably not in secluded areas.
DMs are welcome

Hello all, my first post. Anyone else feel like their general manager won't promote them because they're afraid you'll make them look bad. Like they don't do their job well enough so you'll outshine them? Do you stay? Leave? Try to build the relationship? It's been a year. @Aimbridgehospitalityllc

UK - thinking of a buy to let in either Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester - any recommendations on either /areas where you can get something under £140k.

I have a rental property and my tenant is asking me to change the fridge light burb. I live out of state and don’t have property manager locally. Is it bad if I ask them to change the fridge light burb themselves?

I’m pretty responsive for things they need help with like laundry machine got broken or pantry doors fell off. So I had sent people to fix those maintenance and repair issues.

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)

FYI Amex offer for Allen Edmonds. Spend $300 get $90

Best non-travel credit cards? I have Chase Marriott and SW but looking at best value cards during Covid. Esp Amexes. TIA!!!

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?

If I wanna leave the firm in December.. when do I have to tell to my audit teams? I have to be utilized well enough to get my 30 month experience till december.

Hi Fishes
How is EY Embryonics? Is there a work life balance in the team?

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

Do you feel like making a personal connection with your resources to learn about them, their interests etc can make a difference on whether or not someone quits?

Hello, we've recently started a community focused on FAANG Interview preps. Wondering what kind of content people might be interested to see in such communities.

How long does it take for globant to come back with results/feedback from 2nd round of interview?

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Oracle job status : screening means?

Looking for what salary range is good for an Agency System and Quality Control Coordinator with 3 years experience using the system. They have listed the range as 34k to 57k but I feel this is low.

What do you or are you looking for out of your LGBTQIA+ employee resource group?

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

Hello everyone! What are some things you can think of to help boost LGBT acceptance in the work place?

🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺EUROVISION THREAD🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈
Who’s everyone rooting for? I’m on Israel🇮🇱 and Ukraine🇺🇦

Today’s my first day changing my pronouns at work, I am excited and terrified!! If you did the same and feel like sharing, I would love to hear your experience 💫 I am so anxious!

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

It’s that time when pride briefs are rolling across our desks. We should collectively write a guide on pride campaigns, what to do and what not to do. Anyone want to share their advice?

Ok…I still don’t know what I’m doing so started a convo by accident lol. Anyway, I’m new here and just wanted to say hello. There’s power in connections and I’m here wanting to connect. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends 😊

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

How is everyone doing?

What brands do Pride right? Any favorite campaigns come to mind? Or on the flip side, any campaigns you dislike for being tone-deaf or performative?

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

Is anyone doing virtual volunteer work? If so, where? I don’t have much time but the time I do have I want to spend meaningfully!

Are you in brand planning mode for Pride 2021?

Hello friends, the social impact agency I work for is looking to work with:
- senior lead strategists (freelance / part-time)
- researchers (freelance, part-time/ project based, great for entry-level folks)

please get in touch with me in DMs if interested! Xox

My partner hates my long working hours.

It is really hard to do well in this business without sacrifice and my partner doesn't like it. To be fair that sacrifice is her... Most nights,over the weekend, and during every meal. She deserves better but I either sacrifice time or sacrifice earning potential.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Happy Pride! Wondering: we have an unique POV in life. Have you used your identity to help land you a gig? How so?
