What rules do everyone’s companies have for using their own work for socials or resumes? I sometimes really want to show off my work but I know there are a lot of rules in this industry about ownership

Most companies treat anything you create on their time as theirs. Frustrating, but common. I usually keep private projects or freelance clips to show off instead. Safer than risking a policy breach.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, super frustrating but makes me want to really push myself on personal work in my free time now

If your company owns the work, it’s theirs. Period. No grey area. Posting it yourself without permission is asking for trouble. Protect yourself and don’t touch it unless you’ve got written clearance.

No I agree, I just wanted to show what I was proud of too but it’s hard in this industry to do so

Agree with all the others. It also shows yourself in a negative light to prospective employers

I see this point, I do think there are situations where people have been allowed to at least show off something they’re proud of and that hasn’t shown them in a negative light though so it’s definitely situational

Hello! I recently applied for a Travel Procurement Senior Manager role at PwC (role is in NYC and I’m not NYC-based but I believe certain roles can be primarily remote). I have 5+ years of experience in this field and the description/company culture seem like a perfect match to what I’m looking for. Are there any fish from PwC and/or their talent acquisition team that can provide a reference post-submission and insight on the hiring process? Thanks!!

My parents are visiting this week and mom and I made dinner tonight. Salmon is seasoned with Trader Joe’s ajika (a Georgian spice blend) and we just roasted the broccoli. The standout is the mejadara. It’s spiced rice and lentils with fried onions and is popular throughout the Middle East. We used the recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s cookbook, Jerusalem.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
