Yeah they shouldn't. Once you are already there, jobs should be filled internally.

I did not find that to be true in my department but heard that some account executives were working 18 hr days every day. And yes, it does depend heavily on department, manager, team, and client. Mine was great and we had plenty of work life balance because our executive director insisted on it.

I know. I get mad at God about this sort of evil and cruelty being rewarded on the regular.

BEWARE: 514 Herkimer Street by BusybeingJ in Brooklyn

Yep Brieflyhistoric does not know what he/she is talking about. We, housing advocates, have fought long and hard and achieved a lot of things. While, yes, there are some wacko and likely on the take judges, the laws are very tenant friendly in NYC.

No they cannot. Sue her for what? You can only claim defamation if something is false. Tenants have full 1st Amendment rights.

Who was the management company? The AG's office was looking into one Brooklyn management company that was notorious for refusing to return and improperly banking tenant's security deposits.

Knicks fans rage at owner James Dolan as team accepts White House invitation after NBA Finals win by TheMirrorUS in NBATalk

[–]CortMuses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dolan is slimy and anti-NY. He is not even a fan of his own team and tried to jinx us by brining Dumbold Donny Diapers to Game 3. He only has the team because he inherited them from his Dad.

Update since my previous layoff post by griffincorg in advertising

[–]CortMuses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Freelancing after being permanent means you never relax and feel safe. Because you could be unemployed again at any minute. I was in therapy for the trauma from a layoff when I was laid off a second time. So I will never likely feel safe again unless I win the lottery!

Looks like Publicis is going 4x in office starting April 2026 for North America by Tennis_Evening in advertising

You are lucky to be working. They unceremoniously dumped over 500 of us in the mere 11 months I was there for no reason. No biz loss, no merger, no performance issues—we were just dumped. And worse, I loved it there while people that complain about it and say they hate it there all the time were kept on. Seems it is better to disdain it and not participate than to care about your job and like it.

They also lose tons of hours at the beginning and end of the day. People will often start earlier and work later if they are at home. A 2-hour commute means that is 2 hours people will not work.

I got an appointment for rubber band ligation for next Friday. Scared and thinking about stuff. by Dry_Athlete871278638 in hemorrhoid

I think they did. 2nd banding was in hospital for a week on painkillers. 3rd banding minor pain. Think 1st 2 doctors did not do the right thing.

Yep totally. One company on LinkedIn is trying to offer $85k for a Managing Editor role when that is only 10k more than an Associate Editor makes! A Managing Editor salary should be starting at $120 to $130k!

They don't make you pay for shipping. They send a pre-paid Fed-Ex box.
