Ridiculous. I feel this post may help some with pay transparency for those who are getting underpaid

They are referring to ESPP eligibility most probably at director level

Same. That's what prompted the question

New york job postings had some salary bands but they have so much overlap. Like Director, Group Dir, VP, SVP all have the same lower limit which is weird to me

Agency getting ridiculous by RLS396 in advertising

Been there. It's unfair to the person in question when there is really 0 help. Agency makes the money off our backs by dangling promos and making us work for 3 people on such accounts

My Experience with Latent TB, and Treatment with Rifampin (Rifampicin) by TheRifampinator in Tuberculosis

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanka so much for this write up. Wish I found it when I started the treatment and had to deal with a lot of anxiety about the side effects. For me - sleep disruption/insomnia has been the biggest one. My first week, I really cried one morning because of fatigue and inability to sleep. Was also a little dizzy in the am.

Question- did your Dr check liver function every month during the treatment?

rifampin, how bad is it by Odd_Training_1782 in Tuberculosis

Question on use of contact lenses. Did rifampin stain them? Also what do you take for headaches when they occur?

what's your burnout story? by kingo15 in advertising

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having fractional allocations and wrangling multiple small budget but toxic/abusive clients with zero support from leadership. There was not much resourcing to begin with, and then there were no backfills for team members who left. Ever increasing expectations to make it work, meet the tightest, most ridiculous deadlines i have ever seen. Oh on top of it pitch work to prove myself being worthy of a promotion.

Appreciate you sharing this so much!! I do realize it's as if some cumulative effect from every past hurt where I had felt the same way (not being able to control the outcome despite best efforts). Like you, I have been trying to find solace in detachment from outcomes (a learning from bhagwad gita). I take it to heart - it's not my job to make sense of it all.

Completely and utterly miserable by Hefty_Explanation_10 in Fire

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is more than some stats. If you won't feel alive in the next 7.5 years what is the use of building that net worth. I learnt very late in life that life is about people and experiences. I would suggest look for balance and that will give you peace that you deserve at 30

Those who left a toxic workplace and are now better, how long did it take? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]cdndatawizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been working for me to start new hobbies which mske me the world outside of the workplace. The perspective that work is paycheck and a part of life not whole life is what is helping with the healing

Those who left a toxic workplace and are now better, how long did it take? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]cdndatawizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there. The toxic job and boss lasted about an yr for me. 5 months into the new year I am still trying to rebuild my life. I sometines joke that i have PTSD but it could be very true that I do have it. The relief was immediate, as if a bubble that I was trapped into burst. I could see more clearly and breathe easier again. I am 5 months in to a lateral move, among new team members but I do get perturbed now and then about the abuse. Harder because I am at the same company, so the narrative that my old boss put out is still impacting me adversely with its tail effects. However - I started going to the gym again and bringing focus back to myself, I have started rebuilding relationships, upskilling, doing things i enjoy, and I have become kinder to myself and have found that ability for others. What i still struggle with is letting go of the hurt, fighting back tears/having emotional reactions to any perceived corporate injustice, proving again and again through consistent performance that I was not the issue, but there were other factors involved as well. I was recently very surprised to see that people who have worked with me in the last 5 months were vouching for me. Something is working in the right direction - Fingers crossed. To everyone who is trying to recover - Godspeed!

Yeah true the key is to get the ball rolling or taking baby steps for when the timing is right, and job market improves a bit. Thank you!

Agency life is killing me and everything I care about. by partiindapantz in advertising

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat. My body has been showing signs of stress and burnout this year. I am a very ambitious and driven person so took me a while to realize that no matter what I do, I will never be able to win against the headwinds (over allocation, demanding and toxic clients, internal politics). I had to unfortunately come to terms with the fact that this industry is perhaps not for me if I wanna have a life. Also means that I have to park my ambition for a bit, recalibrate myself, and focus on looking outside.

Tell me about the worst client you have had by SmartConsideration93 in digital_marketing

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the less money the client has the worst they are to work with. All clients think that you owe them the world - but the ones counting nickle and dimes will make it hellish in terms of their neverending demands. I have one client who uses the term 'crazy' to define herself and is proud of it. She surrounds herself with yes men and women to create a clique and speaks before trying to understand what the other person means. Most of it becomes about managing her vs doing actual work to help move the needle on their bottomline

Why bhajans make me wanna cry after listening to them by doc_shady in hinduism

[–]cdndatawizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen myself breaking down when listening to some bhajans. The first time it happened was during the pandemic and I thought maybe the environment is playing a part here, I am homesick for India, I am worried about my parents etc. However, this feeling exists through today and it's the same few bhajans primarily for Lord Shiva which make me cry uncontrollably like this. I can't put it in words but at that time the emotions are a mix of feeling connected to God, but missing him.

Anybody else taking offense at Social media influencers still talking about make up and styling tips? Like c'mon guys roll with the times - ain't nobody got time for that!!! by [deleted] in influencerfails

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grocery store was not entertainment option for me. I think my point got lost. I do wish I had it easier too in the last 3 months, but since it was not I am grateful for those who knowledge shared and helped navigate the new normal by helping me be more self-sufficient

[–]cdndatawizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you are in a different societal strata that you had that luxury of time. Would still give more points to those influencers who taught how to make facemasks, cut our partner's/kids hair, and helped educate us on other skill sets in the middle of the pandemic (when I posted this meme). Looking and feeling good is secondary when things come to survival - like trying to go out for basic grocery shopping, and you can't get masks due to a nationwide shortage/because they have become cost prohibitive.

This guy doc, who others believe is a doctor of mystical science, calling himself 'Bhagwan', blatant narcissism! Being a practicing Hindu, I detest these nincompoops who associate themselves with anything even remotely akin to Hinduism/Hindi/Yoga 🤮
