I've had a whoop for the past 8 months and since the last firmware update it simply doesn't actively synch and it's basically junk. I switched from my old apple watch 3 because I wanted the active heart rate monitoring to help my doctor with my blood pressure and it worked amazingly well. Considering the whoop 4 is seriously backordered, what does everyone think of the Apple watch 7 coming out?

I got call from NTT data, how is the company, hikes, work culture ? How much i can expect with 7 yoe.

It's funny how Democrats are getting absolutely rocked in this election but still want to make jokes. Must be in that numb phase

I honestly struggle with the politics of Afghanistan. It does appear that after 20 years we leave and within months it goes back to very similar or on its way. It’s not the US job to be the world police we did try to build coalitions and fail at the end of the day unless we’re willing to keep troops there forever which most Americans don’t want to I am not sure what the right thing to do is. And I’m sick of criticism just for the sake of the president. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution

Hello! I’m looking for some insights and feedback to help with a conference I’m participating in during October. Have you worked with a Retail Media Network in 2022?

Tips for writing a bio to sound credible without saying things like, “award winning art director”? I’m judging an award show, just need something short.

Saw a post on LinkedIn about not citing inflation as a reason to ask for a raise?! Feels like inflation is a perfectly valid reason to be asking for a raise, no?

Recommendations on how to switch of out advertising? I’m so over media strategy and want to switch into something different. I’ve toyed with UX strategy or design but would also be happy with doing something in marketing that I actually care about and have fun.

5 years of experience, Digital Media Supervisor is the next title for me Associate Media Director?

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan.

I started a new account job at an agency. I’ve been here for about 2 months & I hate it. To put it simply, its an absolute mess. Does it look bad to other agencies if I jump ship after only 2 months?

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

I currently have a 2015 MacBook Pro that’s running on fumes. An Wacom Intuos Pro. A mouse. A few external hard drives. And a second screen.

I'm having trouble getting promoted. Many people tell me my designs are more senior level, I now throw my phone in my desk, and I'm more punctual but I'm not really sure how to wow them.

How do you choose between two awesome career opportunities?

Went for an interview to meet the whole team at a possible new job. Met with five different people, but have not heard back in 3 days. Are they collecting the feedback...or am I being ghosted?
