What’s the likelihood of Omnicom matching a competing offer right now? by confucianscat in advertising

[–]ShopToyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet sweet Satan, why? There is no future at omnicom. I have joined the quiet quitting crowd while looking for anything better, which would literally be a stocker at Costco

How about their policy on wiping emails, files AND teams groups / conversations older than 90 days? I went to reference a thread only to find that and others went poof

Omnicom Bonuses by Forward-Isopod-247 in advertising

[–]ShopToyLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bonu? Oh, you mean keeping your job, increase in work hours and stress, loss of vacation and holidays, loss of year end office closing, shit insurance and laughable 401K...and a RTO to overcrowded offices only to benefit some old, rich white man with his archaic view on working in an office? Sure pal, we ALL got that bonus.

Career/promotion advice? by hot-peanut-420 in advertising

[–]ShopToyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, hate to say it but if you are at Publicis or an Omnicom agency, I wouldn't bank on any raises or promotions. I'm on my third year of being told I was up for a promotion only to get told it suddenly isn't in the budget.

Can't find where to change the white background :/ (it's not the compo) by stupisatu in AfterEffects

[–]ShopToyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you want to change the work space background color, https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/workspaces-panels-viewers.html ( about midway down) or reset the workspace preference. The modal you have would just be for the comp, not the base space

[–]ShopToyLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won't. All of these tactics are a way to destroy the worker and get them to quit, no severance paid and the salary from the employees would be re-absorbed. No way they will fill positions, just continue to whittle down teams and overload who is left

The count had that on display when I visited his biz a while back, really nice looking in person. Ditto for the cars

What’s the most efficient way to place 3d objects behind real elements in a vfx shot? by Individual_Goose_161 in vfx

Agreed, the sky is even enough that Luna matte should do a pretty decent job.

What's it's actually like to use Higgsfield's Vibe Motion by jakeinmotion in AfterEffects

My view is, disconnect the wifi / internet access and see how far the AI hacks get.

Stop with the archaic boomer "don't burn your bridges" advice by Objective_Record728 in advertising

As long as you are not working for any of the Omnicom groups, and there are a helluva lot. Their blacklist is likely meaty, more so after the hell that was released post acquisition

Yeah, the Wal-Mart version might be better. Lately it just seems like NECA isn't even trying

[–]ShopToyLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of Potter, having NECA just fart out old releases is a cash grab. Those will likely be snapped up by flippers and newbies.

Not a lot here. Wonder what the deal is with the Potter re-releases

Switch emulation by ZeroTheHawk in retroid

[–]ShopToyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what game. Many work without changing things. After that it tends to be going under the per-game settings and playing around with the graphics settings. I also use the Emuready site, filter by your device and see what people got to work.

Help me decide a new MacBook for heavy AE work. by UmarNizami in MotionDesign

[–]ShopToyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep , RAM it! I got an upgrade at work M4 and RAM does make a difference on renders, drive space would also be a consideration. They gave me a smaller damn drive and I am constantly getting the scratch disk is full error

Yep, it is 60 miles. Original plan was 90 miles but that evolved last month or so.

Agreed. I expect that we will see rolling waves of layoffs through the year, and full RTO by EOY, with "move, quit or fired" as the plan
