What is your best work hack/tip? Mine is recommending adding an extra day of PTO after you get back from a vacation,a "staycation" day if you will. I've done this the last few years I feel like the transition from break to work hits less.

Taking an extra day off of work is not a “hack.” It’s just taking another day off.

Was referring to creative VP! Didn’t think your comment was rude. :)

The George Costanza method. Walk around stressed all the time and people will assume you’re too busy for extra assignments. It’s worked beautifully for me for the last 4 years.

I do this frequently, especially if taking a late flight home so I can maximize my time on my trip. Definitely would not consider this a "hack."

I completely agree and have been doing the same for many years. It gives you pause to reset before diving in to work, especially if you're returning from another time zone. It's also saved me on a couple occasions when my return flight was delayed.

Exactly this! Early in my career I never thought to do this. It was so hard logging in early if the previous days travel ended late at night.

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.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics
