What’s your dress code these days?

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

For the single 🏳️‍🌈 fishes: how’ve you managed to stay sane/healthy/happyish throughout this whole thing? The monotony and loneliness is hitting me especially hard during the holidays.

Free Suite Room upgrade is the BOMB! I don't know if I can deal with small-size room anymore.

If I want to switch groups within digital as an analyst will that affect my promotion to senior analyst? And consultant? (e.g. switching from interactive to analytics or vice versa)

Does anyone know how to declare in my individual tax return, RSA and Stock Options from a US Company that I have? Non exercised yet.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

We’re using our downtime to redecorate/renovate our home to change it up during quarantine. Any apps to help with the planning and measurement, etc? We’re using Pinterest and Instagram to gather ideas.

Bcg fam, guess no extra 1 week of bonus pay or $300 dinner reward this time around post WWOM ehh?

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

Working on a regular desk and my laptop has been killing my back and neck for last few years. Finally spent a couple hundred dollars on a standing desk, wireless keyboard, and back/neck heating pad to alleviate the pain. Very hopeful working will be much better now.

Is there anything more discouraging than the realization that it’s late and all you did today was answer questions from interns, associates, clients, and the manager... and you had no time to get your actual work done 🥺

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

Any ideas on what one can do to help those affected / in need right now outside of donating?

Is it easier for Indian developers to move from India to Eastern Europe first, and then to Western Europe, rather than directly to Western Europe? I am wondering if that is the reason why a lot of them are joining EPAM, Luxoft etc after enquiring about which companies sponsor work visas.

Any recommendations for a good pair of headphones that has a mic that blocks outside noise. TIA

Does anyone, by chance, follow Medical Medium protocols? Just starting out and wondering if it’s difficult to balance with work.

Im seeing a spike in articles about NYC violence/looting/crimes in right-wing news. Reality on ground is different. Do we think this is a deliberate effort to spread hate and fear against NYC?

I started a new job 6 months ago, since then my boss left, the team has changed and we got a new boss, and everything I was trained on when I onboarded is changing due to factors outside of my control..adopting a whole new way of doing things. I feel like I'm starting a new job all over again and not in a positive way. I'm not sure what to do. I'm getting burnt out already. Any advice?

Resignation - I recently quit my job in a very toxic environment and I’ve been here over eight years. I think I should write something to the owner in appreciation but can’t to seem to find the words because it’s just been so awful. I don’t want to burn any bridges. Looking for input and suggestions.

US has over 180,000 COVID-19 cases. Italy with over 100,000 cases. Surprised China has over 80,000 cases. Banned and blocked internet in China could mislead this number?
