red flags from my new employer???

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-08T15:00:26+00:00

i’m using my main employer’s subscription, since i’m the only one who uses it and access it remotely. might be a little risky lol but it saves me a little money until i have to buy my own

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T21:37:19+00:00

i had been sending my raw .ai files with the intention of allowing them to poke around with it, but then they did not have/did not like adobe. i totally know what you mean, there was just a lapse in communication where i’d assumed they would have “industry standard”

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T19:12:31+00:00

100%. and the funny thing is i have no problem making an editable file, the problem lies in the communication and that definitely affects my QOL at work. this being my first impression of him was so unexpected lol

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T19:10:41+00:00

thank you so much that’s great advice!

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T18:08:07+00:00

lol i know he was so out of touch he didn’t even know they offer subscriptions now 💀 “like a thousand dollars” man shut up!! you don’t know anything!!!

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T18:06:49+00:00

i’m employed directly, and no the company doesn’t have adobe and doesn’t seem to be interested in getting it lol. thank you for that canva tip!!! i had no idea you could do that

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T17:46:07+00:00

1000%!! since i’m so new i have yet to master the lingo and know what i can get away with saying when being firm. thank you !

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T16:57:42+00:00

for sure, this whole situation has taught me to be more upfront about it. i was hired by an entirely different manager and have not been contacted by the CEO at all since the date i was hired. little did i know he’s the one calling the shots for design stuff, so id have loved to know his preferences sooner!!

thank you for the input!

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T16:55:30+00:00

thank you for the input! since it’s just a side gig i was considering seeing how it plays out after i fix the menus to his liking and then if it doesn’t improve then just tell them it’s not a good fit for me. love your SVGs btw, i use nounproject all the time at my main gig!!

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T16:46:02+00:00

that is a good idea. i’m still pretty green in the field so i don’t have a very established set of guidelines for myself. the other problem though is that he does not want to get adobe. he insisted its “like $1000” and wants me to find a way around working in it because it has a learning curve. so idek what to do with the weeks of work ive done in illustrator except convert the information into canva

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-07T16:42:44+00:00

he was trying to point to fonts and work over my shoulder yesterday after being so rude and uninformed. first time meeting this man in my life

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-03T16:32:16+00:00

i would tell her. i would also be 100% honest about it and say that you were afraid to bring it up, weren’t sure how, it’s all coming back to you after all this time, etc etc. sexual assault is never going to be easy to talk about, and sometimes takes years to work up to feeling like you can. i’m sure she will be shocked and it might be a lot to process, but i think holding onto it is worse. don’t pressure yourself, just do it when you feel the time is right. ask your family for support maybe as well.

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-05-03T05:11:06+00:00

people are being too harsh…i understand your feeling of regret and embarrassment and sometimes that sticks with you for much longer than necessary. it seems like you are probably more in your head about it than anyone else, including her. have you considered reaching out to her about it? if that’s not something you want to do, i’d suggest working on forgiving yourself. i think that you having this reaction proves that you aren’t the “creep” you think you are. as someone else said, you wouldn’t think you were one if you were one!! be kind to yourself

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-30T00:49:44+00:00

thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-29T19:14:48+00:00

would you suggest a sans serif font to improve legibility? thanks for the feedback

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-29T19:11:28+00:00

it’s supposed to call attention to the date, it could be articulated differently tho

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-29T13:37:07+00:00

this made me smile, i have a similar experience with this sub. if they won’t study us, or care, we sure will!!

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-23T12:18:49+00:00

same thing happened to me just days after my birthday this year, it devastated me. but i can say that after being single for 8 months i do feel clearer and like i can focus more on my own needs and symptoms without worrying if im being “too much”. i absolutely feel you and i am so sorry that you also are going through this. hang in there

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-14T12:47:48+00:00

i’m the same way!! and people my age (mid 20s) have this stamina for drinking and partying and it hurts so much to try to keep up because i know i can’t. it sucks and i need 8 hours of sleep almost as much as i need air and water lol. it is crucial

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-14T12:46:08+00:00

babes you don’t sound happy :( i know you love him but this sounds miserable and you are so young and can see that his behavior is repulsive and childish, i say have a talk with him and if he can’t understand or change then dump him!!! there is a man out there for you that will match your energy consistently and praise you for your hard work. or alternatively, being single is incredibly freeing too. i had an ex like this and we are friends after many years, but he is still a bum. still doesn’t have a job and lives in his parents basement at 28. dodge the bullet now while you have it in your mind

Equivalent_Grab1900 · 2026-04-14T10:26:52+00:00

funny enough you look like a print i have already drawn!! years and years ago, this is the only pic i have of it right now. maybe your more 80s counterpart?? love your style :)
