What did your agency’s processes look like before covid? What part of the process did you find to be absolute gold, the game changer, the thing that made it work and work so well?
And what part of the process was it that failed the most and why? How you navigate around the pitfalls of the process?
And how have your processes changed (for the better or worse) during Covid?

My work has picked up a lot during COVID and my husband has had to pick up the childcare slack. I’m getting blamed for being a bad parent because I work too much.. anyone else dealing with this? Cont.

This was the week that traffic fully returned from its Covid hibernation

Associates in big firms, how fast are your coronavirus rumor mills churning? Associates here are indignant that we are not WFH and rumors abound about an unnamed person in NYC office under quarantine.

How to address pay conversation where my manager has given me a heads up that pay will stay the same next year even though this is the best year I have had in terms of performance in a decade with the company? (and incentives were taken away as a blanket decision this year because of Covid)

I've seen that some lab levels can accurately predict mortality of COVID-19. What are you seeing
in your practice?

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.

Best ways to root out the red flags in a teaching job interview and a school tour? I'm finally ready to get back to the classroom but don't want to end up at another toxic place where admin doesn't look out for the teachers at all. I know to avoid places where janitorial stuff is being ignored or other health and safety issues, but this is only my second interview (worked for 10 years at my old school, left during covid). TIA!

Are firm offices in LA closed due to COVID? Or are associates able to voluntarily go in?

What does the job market look like now that Covid has become our reality? Are ad agencies overall still hurting or are they starting to hire again?

Show of hands. Who feels like they’ve banked good visibility pre-Covid and will continue to coast as long as possible before picking up the pace again 👋

And by coast I mean work normal human hours

Why do we think that the presentation and severity of COVID-19 varies so much from patient to patient?

If I hear one more person tell me that COVID19 is fake- I'll just lose it!

On a scale of 1-10 how worrisome do you think it is that I’ve lost 13 lbs in my pregnancy in the past few weeks? Im 19 weeks, I had covid, my husband had emergency surgery that was stressful and the situation spanned a week, I have ADHD and executive dysfunction in general so I’m not good at feeding myself ever. I didn’t have crazy nausea in first trimester. I ask bc my anatomy scan is next week but with a lab tech, not the OB, and I want to know if I should let the OB know/make appointment. TIA

There are 12 weeks until Christmas… Anyone down for a challenge or some support and a kick in the butt?? Let me know!

Moms, would you recommend international travel with 2-3 month old in early 2021 if the COVID situation improves? My family is not able to travel for delivery and I know I am being selfish, but I really want to spend part of my maternity leave with my parents and family. This will also be a chance to spend a month with them, which is super rare given we never get leaves that long! Anyone been this mad? Is it my 30 week hormones messing my brain?

Is workers comp a bottom of the barrel practice area?

"My wife" and "my husband" .... I don't get it. If we work together everyday, just call them by their actual name when you speak about them 🤔

Today's high point in my chemistry class: I am teaching Atomic theory and structure. I have my students look at their periodic table and I walk through the information listed for each element. At this point I talk about a lot of big ideas that are related as an prelude to where we are headed. One student told me that she took chemistry last year, and in 10 minute I was able to connect all of the pieces that never made any sense to her. Her 'aha's moment was like candy to me.

I am so sorry for personal question. Am two years post baby and I still have (contd)

Anyone ever struggle with knowing the right course of action, but having your team constantly ignore your opinions and reccos?

It's like the opposite of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I'm warning over and over about the wolves, but it's not until they start eating our sheep that the team even cares. (Bear with me on the analogy lol)

How do you folks handle this? I have an "I told you so" moment literally every day. Should I let go and just let the team learn the hard way?

Should I get the CAPM or go straight for the PMP?

I currently work for the fed government as a contract specialist for 2.5 years but have been thinking about making career change to project management. I also have a masters in public administration. I know you need 3 years of experience in PM to get a PMP but I wanted to know if it would be possible to sit for the exam without the experience?
