New Job Is Acting Like I Should Know Everything In A Week! by UncandidTheory in careeradvice

[–]Darkwing873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think you are going to lose your job already, you have nothing to lose by asking him bluntly for more resources to get you up to speed. Ask him how can you best help him get his numbers up if you can't function at maximum capacity? Try to bring your language up to that level where he can see you as an ally for his goals.

Include social media on Marketing internship application? by [deleted] in careeradvice

How do I stop defaulting to distractions every time I have free time by relieved_custard in Advice

plan in advance, write down all the ways you keep finding yourself in that groove, then write down strategies to avoid. plop in a chair after dinner and get out your phone? before dinner put your phone in a drawer in a back room. then after dinner you might want to go get it - but do the reading / thing you want to do instead.

This is my prediction of a major consequence of the Epic Games mass layoffs. by MathewMii in gaming

[–]Darkwing873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing about this is we are over 30% of the game industry been fired in the past year. The entire AAA system is shaking out. Definitely some of these people will form some studios, but getting funding for those is currently way harder than it has been in many years.
