Ending my work day at a reasonable time. Also, taking actual breaks.

It’s definitely the breaks for me

Feeling connected with my team, especially outside my immediate org. Yes, we have stand ups within the sales team (ie the team I'm on), but I don't feel like I connect on a human level with anyone else.

If I see non sales people, it's usually at a bigger meeting or because we meet for a specific work purpose.

Heyy does anyone have any tips for an entry level media planner? I graduated last year and landed a FT offer at an agency.

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

My director was on the call but not my VP. My VP reached out today and said he doesn’t appreciate hearing such comments on the grapevine but I was confused b/c all i did was answer the question I was asked.
