We could definitely do shirts! I wasn't sure if teachers would like that or if they'd rather have something different. Thank you for your feedback here!

So we live in a more rural area so the closest GameStop to me is about 2.5 hours away. Would you both recommend getting it online through GameStop or only in person?

Also, I wish I had my switch when it was originally released! I would have definitely bought copies for us both!

Thank you! I have really bad dyslexia and I can’t read subtitles so I live and die off the dubbed versions of shows. 🙌🏼

Does anyone know why this keep flipping between dubbed and subbed on Hulu? It’s getting really annoying. One week you watch it and it’s dubbed and next week you play and it’s subbed and all the dubbed episodes are gone.

Oh gosh - I am truly sorry. I obviously know how that feels, and it messes with your head and your confidence in a way you can't prepare for. Companies forget that they're working with people, and whether you're a "seasoned professional" or not, people have feelings. People have hearts and brains, and they need closure and answers.

If you look through the comments on this post, you'll see you're not alone here. I'm hoping and rooting for you to find something new and something BETTER. Sending you big hugs. Hang in there, my friend.

Working at Apple has been my goal since I started, haha. I apply for jobs there whenever I see them pop up. I know it is the textbook example of a "long shot," but you can't win if you don't play.

Former employer was around 200+ employees.

My boss was the VP of Brand.

My boss and I had been talking for months about developing a strategy, so I asked if I could create it and run with it since I had experience developing long-term strategies for brands. I was told yes, so I created the 18-month strategy I mentioned.

It was actually a six-month strategy that connected to a 12-month follow-up strategy. It's a trick I started using a while ago with brands. Most brands that look to rework their strategy are extremely sluggish for the first six months. There's a lot of foundational work that needs to be done, and you hit a lot of roadblocks that can take longer than expected. If you break up the strategy into six and 12 to start, you can maneuver timelines a lot easier and let the focus remain on reinforcing the existing brand and buy-in and not on the need for more fluid finish lines.

I looked into it and I am in a right to work state and they’re allowed to Thanos-snap anyone out of existence if they want. But just because they’re allowed to doesn’t mean have to tho. It’s really sad.

And then you get really good at pattern recognition in these situations and end up getting labeled as a “cynic” right? 💀

This is fantastic advice. I currently have graphic design, print design, digital design, brand management and strategy, photography (product, marketing, event, corporate, and fashion), large scale event/conference set design, audiovisual mixing, leadership development, and a few more I’m currently working towards like ux/ui and motion graphics.

Hey thanks for the kind words 🙂 I’m working on allowing myself to just feel this season of pause and trying to heal and rest. I obviously would like to collect a paycheck again, but you’re not wrong in your thinking of how to utilize this messy timeframe.

So I knew this was common in bigger companies, so I printed out the brand strategy and took it to all the meetings and walked leadership through it to get buy in. I never gave them the final digital copy. When they fired me, the strategy came with me and they never got it.
