What is the "pls fix" meme? Has anyone actually encountered it irl? Does the sender of the pls fix actually tell you what is wrong or is it on us to figure out what is wrong?

It was a phrase partners USED to say... the current vernacular is “let’s tweak this a bit”

I’ve seen it used at the end of a list of things wrong with your work:

“Structure needs work, please align page numbers, footnote formatting inconsistent. Pls Fix. Thx”

It’s more like “can you please fix .... “

At this point it’s basically slang. I tell my names “plz fix” all the team with that as the opener and a bunch of comments. They are gen z and get it haha.

My supervisors were the stereotypical senior managers, and this was basically their theme.

Haha, welcome to consulting! It's a meme that caricatures senior partners who just leave the feedback 'plz fix' or 'make better' on a slide with no additional details or direction. I've fortunately never experienced it myself 😁

Been there multiple times especially on client deliverables. I get much more input and clarity on proposals 😆

I have over 10 years experience in design/marketing. The companies I worked for are small businesses (Less than 100 employees) so I’ve had to wear many hats (e-mail, print, social media management & ads, and very little google analytics and ads). I’m considering a change in career and would like to work fully-remote. I feel inadequate for the current workplace. I know no UX/UI, relatively no web design, no video experience. Is it imposter syndrome? Any tips or recommendations?

I completed a Loop for an AWS PgM position and the interview team completed their debrief today. After the debrief, the recruiter reached out to schedule a follow-up call to discuss results without providing much detail. Does this mean I can expect an offer or do recruiters call to communicate the decision regardless of yes/no on moving forward? Amazon
