You did not measure how many people were completely online before COVID and therefore continued being completely online since. So your measurements only really look at a smaller segment of the workforce.

I care, but then, I am a recovering water quality professional. I also know that people pay a premium for water in bottles that is of lower quality than what comes out of their tap. I am curious about your question's motivation here. Your question seems a bit of a fishing expedition given your...

I care, but then, I am a recovering water quality professional. I also know that people pay a premium for water in bottles that is of lower quality than what comes out of their tap. I am curious about your question's motivation here. Your question seems a bit of a fishing expedition given your employment and I have to admit that I have wondered about the bias of companies I've encountered selling treatment systems in areas with amazing water quality.
Absolutely take the high road and act with dignity and grace. And max out your job hunt process so you can RUN at the first opportunity. Best wishes and the best of luck to you!!

For me, it wasn't the salon, it was the hair stylist! I am of mixed heritage and so my hair is, to put it mildly, different! I actually found a stylist of the same mixed heritage as me who understands the challenges of my hair and knows what to do and it's been heaven ever since!

I encounter a lot of people who know little or nothing about the #voiceover industry who play at dramatic sticker shock when I quote prices. And yes, there is a difference between dramatic and honest sticker shock. Usually when the drama king or queen comes out, it tells me that they don't understand the training I have, the investment in quality equipment and an appropriate recording space that I have made, and/or the amount of effort that it takes to produce a quality voiceover.
To my advantage, the types who like to play at dramatic sticker shock are ultimately not treating me like a professional and it is a sign that they may not be the kind of client I want to work with in any case.

The fact that you are grieving and feeling your loss is so normal and ultimately it will be helpful. I know from my experience that it doesn't feel like it in the moment. One thing I wish that I had done more during my grieving phase was share more. I should have opened up more to people that I trust to seek help and support. I know that there would have been people who popped out of the woodwork to pitch in if I had asked! From further conversations, I have found that people often sympathize deeply with a person mourning a loved one, but they don't know the best way to help unless they get some clear guidance.
As an introvert, I always ran screaming (inside) from jobs that would include things like cold calling. But, when I started my own business, I had to figure out how I was going to connect with clients in a way that suited my personality. So, kind of like using an incubator, I got onto a few...

As an introvert, I always ran screaming (inside) from jobs that would include things like cold calling. But, when I started my own business, I had to figure out how I was going to connect with clients in a way that suited my personality. So, kind of like using an incubator, I got onto a few freelancing platforms that let me get my foot in the door in my chosen field and refine my job proposal skills and my company values in the slower moving conversations that take place online so that now I feel like I'm standing on solid ground as an entrepreneur, rather than feeling stressed out because I am a new business AND an introvert. Tally ho!
If I make a mistake, I fix it. End of story.

I think there is a big seasonal slowdown after the holidays, but I do wonder if the federal shutdown also contributed to the slowdown. I know a big business in my home town is projecting a big loss in revenue for the first quarter or two because approvals for a new product line was held up in a federal agency. And when products can't be released, then all the related activity for advertising can't proceed either.
