What does your company do for Mental Health Day? We used to get the day off. Now we get a bunch of meetings thrown in the cal, as if that helps with our mental health lol

How are other people approaching inventory counts during covid, for people with 6/30 year end clients? Need ideas. Anyone thinking of doing a virtual audit of the count?

For anybody who has flown from the LA to the Maldives – what airline did you fly and did you like it?

Hi EYP 🐠. I’m interviewing for a higher-level Director spot in TSE in one of the functional groups. I’ve looked through threads and see pay was recently adjusted, but have not seen data for director level. Can anyone speak to the number of Director levels (e.g. 2 or 3?) and comp ranges? 🙏

(If it matters... MBA, coming from a competing firm)

Tiger Analytics has started firing their new joineers(freshers) as they don't have adequate projects. I don't know where the freshers will go as they haven't done any project as such.

This is just pathetic from organization. They are just firing people owing to failing a test of certification, for which other company gives 3 trials but they are giving only one try with negative markings

Anyone knows what are the rounds conducted for Full stack web developer at CapGemini, Poland? What is the salary range offered for 2to3years of experience?

Best way to reduce taxes on severance pay? Receiving bonus and severance, tips for saving money. Open to charity etc. I’m afraid that most of this will go into taxes. I will max out my IRA.

Noob plaintif-side L&E lawyer here—how long should I wait for defense counsel to stall on a demand letter before I start getting ready to file?

Orally accepted a job offer that I’m excited about, but have another interview this week for a different job. I didn’t realize the first offer would come so quickly! Should I cancel the interview this week or go through with it? Small legal community- people talk.

Thoughts on Steptoe & Johnson? Particularly DC office. Considering applying. Thanks!

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

My company issues top of the line 16” MBP’s for engineers and lower end 13” MBP’s for all others. I work in analytics/ data science and struggle with the fact that my computer can only run 1 external display! No one else on my team cares. How can I navigate requesting a more expensive computer without annoying my leadership? I already own an upgraded MBP as my personal - can I offer to swap my work and personal machines?

Any openings in third party due diligence/ background screening? I am also pursuing CFE. Thanks!!

Im traveling the US to watch a game in every MLB ballpark. 3 done so far.

Anyone looking for job change with skill set in weblogic servers? Please DM

Okay! So I love my job! LOVE IT. But I am actually struggling to have that boundary between work and life… since COVID I shut off and tv has been my downtime. But now I only work and watch tv and sleep. I’ve been trying to get a hobby, but I’m not motivated… I get home and I want to keep working. Any tips to create that work life balance?

Which holding company gets the best rental car discount? And which rental company?

It took the horrific and completely inexcusable death of George Floyd to move the racism issue to the forefront. And while it’s a crime of a much lesser degree, with different circumstances, what’s it going to take to get ageism properly addressed? Intelligent thoughts/debate requested only please.

Calling all tech obsessed 🐠! Thoughts on Chromebooks? My mom needs a new laptop and absolutely loves the simplicity / app-based nature of her iPhone, but I can't afford to buy her a Mac. TIA!

I find it insane that recruiters have been calling me on Teams. How is that ok and not seen as disruptive?

What in the world is this old spice YouTube thing ?

Thoughts on Facebook as an employer? Do they pay well? Interesting / fun work? How limiting is the horizontal reporting structure?

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever gotten in this business?

Mine, as an account person: “You should take more credit for the creative that’s presented.”

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

Didn’t know who the CCO is when I was asked about it in an interview... is there anything I can do to redeem myself? I feel like I really dropped the ball on this lol

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

Thoughts on giving less than 2 weeks notice?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?

Anyone find themselves waking up with a migraine, naseau, and throwing up Saturday after a work week? Been happening to me for almost 4 weeks straight now

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

As bad as my job may be, someone out there has to write an Effie entry for Weathertech

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Time to hire—I've seen dozens of fledgling lists/databases of available creative talent & diverse talent. Which ones are people actually using?

With the way this week has been going, Friday 13th with a harvest moon seems downright dangerous 🌚 halp
