I honestly just need to know I’m not alone in this because I’m starting to feel really discouraged. I’ve been applying pretty heavily to remote positions in data entry, bookkeeping, accounts receivable, billing, and accounting/admin work. I have around 3 years of experience in accounting-related roles, including AR, billing, Excel/data Read more
I used to compare two documents by positioning them side by side on one small screen and then manually scanning for errors, sentence by sentence. As you’d expect, that method morphed my face into an alarming scrunch, and more importantly, it was ripe for human error. Then I learned that Read more
To the uninitiated, advertising is full of Mad Men-esque mystery. But as a writer and creative lead, I’m here to tell you that advertising is just fancy persuasion. At its most fundamental, an ad is trying to get you to think, feel, or do something (usually, purchase a product). Because Read more
I graduated from college and instantly landed a remote position that pays fairly well for my area. As nice as it is, I also worry I’ve now had a taste of paradise, and I’ll never want to work in person again lol. Genuinely, it’s so nice not having to talk Read more
I applied to a remote file clerk position with them, but the follow up they sent was just a survey to see “what position I’d best fit in”. This feels very similar to a scam I experienced before, so I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with them? Read more

Claude is generally considered to be the best chatbot for almost everything: marketers will tell you it writes better than other chatbots; developers will tell you it codes better; and people who inexplicably think it’s a good idea to use AI as a therapist will tell you it’s kinder than Read more
Reports of the landline phone’s demise are only slightly exaggerated. No, this apparatus isn’t gone yet, but it will likely join the fax, floppy disk, and Rolodex in the business graveyard within the next decade. Today you can make calls using FaceTime, Messenger, WhatsApp, or dozens of other call apps, Read more
More of a rant than anything… but I feel like I only ever hear of people who are remote, in-person, or have a clearly communicated hybrid schedule. Instead I have a boss that makes us come in on whims with little notice, rhyme or reason. I work on a small Read more
After spending 5+ years in two remote only companies, I’m thinking whether for next company I should choose somewhere that’s primarily in-office. Main reason is isolation. My social circle has almost completely collapsed during these past years and it’s starting to affect my mental health. When I go outside, I Read more
