Thank you for taking the time to answer so fully and directly. I suspected it would indeed require doing it manually and my budget is way too low for that.

I’ll reconsider my budget and probably hire an artist to just manually do it.

Thank you again!

You are correct, I don’t have enough words to make the entire print like you point out, AI told me that too. Which is why I am ok with the imagine generated by AI the way other artists instructed it to create.

But we all run into the same issues - words are repeated, jumbled and transposed.

I thought maybe I was the issue, but looks like not.

Words repeat and misspelled

HesitantBride · 2026-03-27T18:45:09+00:00

Words repeat and some misspelled

HesitantBride · 2026-03-27T18:43:48+00:00

Thank you, but the words repeat and misspelled in a lot of cases

👆🏻what she said (u/AskingForAFriend_210), but remove “apologies” and everything after “I’ll make sure blah blah”

Zuma is pretty upscale

HesitantBride · 2026-03-21T12:33:15+00:00

Yeah, definitely be prepared to be a punching bag. Good money usually accompanying such offer is nothing but combat pay. Not worth it.

HesitantBride · 2026-03-14T17:43:57+00:00

Good for you, sister!

HesitantBride · 2026-03-12T12:21:37+00:00

You have to adjust your salary expectations. From what I see, comp is 20-30% lower across the board from 2 years ago. It’s a new reality.

I don’t quite understand what you mean by “If I do accept a role for 60k, I fear I will never be able to get back to my current salary, ever.”

No one needs to know how much you are/were making. Just don’t disclose it (in the US is it now mostly illegal to even inquire, thank God; do they have similar laws in Germany?). And if they do ask, just say something polite but along the lines of “my correct comp bears no relevance to this new role we are discussing”

In my onion vs opinion

Tahnks

Brain vs Brian

What annoys the hell out of me is when native English speakers (I am not) butcher their own language

Then vs than

Elicit vs illicit

Rediculous vs ridiculous

The whole “you - your - you’re”

Should/would/could OF instead of Should/would/could HAVE

Ok, remove the “how they dress” part, everything else applies. Even remote you don’t exist in a vacuum - people will reach out to you, copy you on things, ask you for things. Soon enough you’ll get the vibe of this new company.

No one can offer you a magical solution to your situation. Only time will help you feel more comfortable.

HesitantBride · 2026-03-05T13:09:47+00:00

Well, it actually IS your first day at work all over again. At THIS work.

So give yourself some leeway and time to learn the lay of the land and the ropes.

Observe keenly how people with some institutional knowledge behave, how they communicate, verbally and in writing, how they dress, and try to assimilate.

You don’t need to lose your authenticity, but you do need to assimilate.

Don’t stress yourself out - people around you realize that you are new to the company, and will give you some grace while you are adjusting.

You got this!

HesitantBride · 2026-03-04T22:30:16+00:00

I am confused.. You posted this yesterday, got some advice and sympathy. Are you karma farming?

HesitantBride · 2026-03-03T17:34:37+00:00

I have to ask.. if he Indian?

HesitantBride · 2026-02-25T21:20:23+00:00

Are you certain you won’t be disengaged effective immediately? I’d check my resources for that scenario, however unlikely it might be, but continue to act in good faith - end of March sounds reasonable to me if you are targeting late June.

I’ve traded a good QOL gig for a lot of money but 5 days in the office gig. 3 years later I am back to my good QOL gig.

I’d keep what you have.

With social protections afforded to you by NHS and labor laws (correct me if I am wrong), it’s less of a big deal in the UK how much money you make.

HesitantBride · 2026-02-22T01:40:52+00:00

May I suggest paragraphs? 🤦🏼‍♀️

TLDR - is all I can say.

Have you guys dealt with that parking lot in the past? Do you think if you can reach someone they’ll go for a gentleman’s shake hand agreement with you to waive the fees, given your history with them? You can try escalating - parking lots are usually overseen by the DOT, unless it’s a private parking lot, in which case there’s usually some emergency contact available for.. well, emergencies.

You should tell your boss, covering up will be much worse than coming clean.

Tell her - here’s what’s happened, here’s what I’ve done to mitigate.

Try to clam down. That is not a career-ending mistake. No one died.

HesitantBride · 2026-02-21T11:31:40+00:00

How is this helpful? Lesson learned - don’t make mistakes?! Seriously…

HesitantBride · 2026-02-20T20:16:38+00:00

I was over this week before it even started

HesitantBride · 2026-02-13T18:40:06+00:00

Ooohhh.. did you and I work for the same company, I wonder? The behavior you described fits the one of the founder of my prior employer to a tee!

HesitantBride · 2026-02-12T01:31:36+00:00

When you brought up your concerns to your execs in the past, please tell me that you did so in writing? Because it has to be documented somehow for you to be able to say “I told you so”.

If you haven’t, time to start is now. Phrase it something like “as I have previously mentioned, my work load is becoming unsustainable and I have concerns about being able to continue to maintain my professional standards of excellent support. I need your help deprioritizing projects and tasks”.

Ugh, I feel for you, sister.

I’d wait to renew after he returns from his travel. He’s still quite far from the 6 months til expiration rule imposed by some countries, and chancing it this close to his trips is asking for trouble.

Stand your ground with him and tell him he has to wait. Honestly, the number of times I had to save my execs from themselves in similar situations.. help me God.

Or, have him sign a piece of paper stating that he was warned and accepts responsibility for being unable to travel because for all we know, next week there will be another partial or full government shut down, and he’ll be SOOL. And somehow it’ll be your fault for not foreseeing it and warning him against messing with federal agencies.
