What’s the deal with brands insisting everything in their commercials be “brand colored”? Plates. Shirts. Couch pillows. It’s like they think people will see a shade of cerulean and go, “Oh my god, that must be a [Brand Name] plate!” this is obv a pet peeve but it drives me crazy. what’s the reason behind this? so many of my clients insist we color correct things in post and i don’t see how it makes a difference.

What would be the average salary for a principal engineer at UNUM in Atlanta, USA?

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

Bodrum Turkey- caresse or edition?

Currently unemployed, and looking at a job offer of around 62k base, small firm. Not my preferred choice but this is the first offer in three months. They also took a month to get me the offer with corona and internal restructuring. Two questions:
1) The contract doesn’t mention a notice period in the probation period. What’s a good way to ask? 2) If I manage to secure another offer between contract signing and start date, would this involve any financial liabilities?
