What’s the worst example of reworking a campaign you’ve seen? Things approved and then disapproved, or experience/process ignored to expensive and/or disastrous results?

I’ve worked a lot on highly regulated brands and gov brands. A lot of campaigns have reached the finish line only to be highly altered or killed by legal or one of the too many cooks in the kitchen. Doesn’t matter how many processes or approvals we try to get on the front end, it always happens.

Anything to do with indie game design or 'Kickstarter scams'. RRO's music provider is making his own competing trains game, the dev got a company to help, and now the updates are frozen due to drama again. Another railroading solo developer says RRO 'stole his ideas', yet updates so sparingly that 2 more solo's have released their games already better and rising. And now I'm learning to code for my own railroad game too!

I mean, devs need to drop the drama, get their arsenal in gear, or be left behind

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

I live in metro Atlanta. I’m looking to move to a space that has a more suburban feel, but is still close enough to the city to not hamper my social life. I like going to the party - not constantly living in it. Any suggestions? Currently renting, but open to buying in the next three years.
