What’s your department?

For the last two years I’ve done nothing but write personality quizzes. My boss assured me that I could try other things within the department, but she was just laid off.

Are you a manager?

No

Yes

Yes. But that’s because it was the only way for me to advance here. Then there wasn’t much training, and now I fear I’m doing a poor job. But also, I can’t revert to being a writer because they say that I'm needed. It's so confusing.

The Try Guys spent eight hours trying to pop a weather balloon right by my desk. It was for Facebook live, and the noise was very distracting. I missed a deadline, and my boss called me incompetent via Slack.

Are you proud to say you work for BuzzFeed?

Of course.

Not really

When I tell people at parties, “I work at BuzzFeed,” their faces light up. They have so many questions. And I feel so special. What will I become when this part of my identity is stripped away?

Remember all that free Chobani?

Yes!

Such a good perk.

Once I was so burnout that I sobbed in my HR representative's office. She hugged me and said everything would be okay. We were going to work out a plan, but then she stopped responding to my emails.

I’d like to negotiate for more health insurance. I’ve just started reading about COBRA, and it’s so expensive. Please, I was a freelancer for years and that health insurance was so horrible.
