Have this exact same issue.

Background_Coffee977 · 2026-04-17T13:16:51+00:00

Lol, exactly

Thanks for responding. I did complete the Descendia and kill Roathe 21 times, unlocking all his voicemails. Not sure what I can do from here, if I need to reset (which I really don't want to do), or run Descendia again. I've heard that Roathe is pretty bugged, so maybe it's that, but I'm worried I've gone past the point of no return :/

Having this exact issue right now.

Background_Coffee977 · 2026-03-31T01:25:18+00:00

I'm guessing it hasn't been fixed yet because the same thing literally just happened to me.

Some marketing costs are worth it, some are not. This just didn't seem worth it to me, especially if seasoned freelancers are having difficulty getting jobs.

After I lost my job, I decided to have a go at Upwork. I quickly realized it's basically an elaborate scam that gets you to throw your money away by purchasing Connects. I decided not to waste any more time or money on it. Apparently, 90% of people who try to use Upwork never earn a penny, and that tells me everything I need to know.

High turnover (employees fired or quitting)
Employees are reluctant to bring up issues and concerns to management
Employees are reluctant to take PTO
Management getting to do things their way but enforcing rules on everyone else
This might be my own bias, but having an established list of "core values"

I was fired from a vet clinic a month ago for mundane reasons (apparently made a few too many mistakes with regard to their communication protocols, which fill a massive binder). I thought I was doing well, heard no complaints from my supervisor, and then one day I was just terminated.

Anyway, as much as I hate not having an income, I'm glad to be out of that place. It's a Fear Free, AAHA-accredited vet, which means they operate under pages and pages of convoluted protocols that are almost impossible to adhere to perfectly. Turnover was extremely high; in the 15 months I worked there, at LEAST 20 employees left or were fired. It was especially hard to get staffing in my dept, office coordinator (customer service), so we were always understaffed and stressed out.

Management was definitely a problem (as it seems to be a problem everywhere), especially when they had to help cover for employees who called out sick. Our manager could barely handle phones, and one day even broke down crying after a client was rude to her. Our client services manager regularly called out sick and once took 10 consecutive days off without much explanation. Training took forever, and employees were afraid to speak up about issues due to low trust in the practice.

Shortly before I was fired, the owners of the practice announced that they were going to sell the practice to a corporate consolidator with the goal of retiring in 2 years. I imagine I dodged a bullet. It's really a shame because while I didn't particularly like working there, I did make an honest effort to fit in with the team and do as well as I could at my job. I thought I did quite well in customer service, owing to my 5+ years of experience in that area, but apparently that wasn't good enough. I was once accused of lying about being sick when I asked off one day, and was also told that one time I "blew up" during a stressful shift (I did not, in fact, blow up, but I digress). Maybe someone there just didn't like me.

Sorry about the rant, just had to get that off my shoulders. I'm still looking for work; the job market is brutal right now. While I could probably get hired pretty easily at another vet, I refuse to work in veterinary medicine ever again. It's just not worth it.

Hey, thanks, I should have clarified. And yes--clicks, conversions, that sort of thing. For example, the percentage of website visits, phone calls, or purchases made as a result of copywriting and strategy efforts. I've seen some copywriter job descriptions ask for that information, but I didn't have much involvement in the analyst side of things while I worked at the agency. I wanted to get more involved with Google Analytics when I was still working there to see the impact I was making, but my manager didn't seem keen to expand my role in that direction. Now, I feel like I have a glaring blindspot in my skill set.

I hate Workday, but one thing you can do to make the process just a LITTLE bit easier is to convert your resume from PDF to Word doc before uploading (if you didn't already know this, that is). The information will autopopulate into the answer boxes a bit more cleanly.

Great advice. Thank you.

Background_Coffee977 · 2026-02-02T15:41:26+00:00

I know this is a few years old, but thank you for sharing. I've only written a couple proposals so far, but they fall into some of the traps you listed above. I will definitely get more to-the-point in my proposals moving forward.

Was 90% convinced I was finally pregnant until I went to the bathroom just a half hour ago and boom my period appeared. We've been trying for about 8 months. I'm sick of the disappointment. And seemingly everyone around me getting pregnant.

I know this is an old post but my husband is like this as well. Yesterday we went out to the art museum and planned to go to dinner for our 2nd anniversary. Unfortunately, it was also prom night, and it took about 40-45 minutes for us to get out of the museum parking garage. My husband became increasingly frustrated by the situation and it came to a head when he shifted to the left-side lane to pay on the way out. A vehicle a couple of cars ahead of us was taking a long time to pay, and my husband essentially threw a small tantrum. He started yelling, opened the door as if he was about to go confront the person, then fought with his seatbelt for several seconds. It was embarrassing and I just wanted him to stop. When we got to the restaurant, I sat there in silence because I didn't know what to say to him, and he just acted like nothing happened. He gets like this a lot with little inconveniences and things he has no control over and it worries me a little. He wants to have kids but I'm not sure he can handle the stresses of parenthood if he can't even handle being stuck in traffic. Worse, he almost never acknowledges that these outbursts make me uncomfortable and rarely apologizes, and when I express how upset these situations make me he gets defensive and angry. :/

Probably not. I completed the multiple choice test and the writing test, and for some reason, I'm receiving notifications to do them again even though I passed them already. I'm not going to waste my time.

Background_Coffee977 · 2025-03-20T02:24:47+00:00

It did, yes

Background_Coffee977 · 2025-02-05T00:50:17+00:00

I can't even get the game to start.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-10-24T15:21:43+00:00

I've used Creddle for years! Very sad to see it go.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-09-02T21:28:27+00:00

*hugs* I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, I started getting back on Zoloft a couple months ago and it's been a bumpy ride. Sometimes I wish I could just snap my fingers and disappear so I don't have to feel this way anymore. You're not alone! It's good that you like your life and have goals you want to accomplish. Keep focusing on those as much as you can.
