However, the conversation started with me telling her that I wasn’t going to be a good fit for her digital needs. (It started that…

Your Team is Virtual, What do you do About Pictures?
Remember when everyone who worked together sat in the same office? I am not even talking about pre-pandemic here. I mean, remember when having a job always meant getting up, putting on clothes (likely panty hose if you are a woman) driving in traffic, and going into an office? That simply isn’t the world we…
