@celine21_: “Can you put remoteworkHER on a pause ? Restrategize and come back stronger. There is no harm in that. Jesus even after preaching on the mount, retreats to a quite place to recharge His Spirit.”
@Faces By Sunshine MUA_IN_UYO: “So sorry Adeife. I’ve worked as a community manager for large crypto communities and these are my suggestions. first of all 1800 active people is a lot for just one person to handle day in day out.”
@Kome kadin | Beauty Creator: “Honestly it is unfair. You can’t just quit without giving heads up. Let be honest here. Nothing like the work load is too much or something she saw the work duties and took the job.”
@Tamara: “All of you saying this is nt fair n all, when that job opening came 4 150-200k offer with all the specifications I knw it will be hard, expect the person looking 4 survival. In this T-pain economy.”
@Braidedwigs by nadi: “All of u are just quickly jumping into conclusions. Based on a one sided crying video. No one will leave their job if they being treated well, or being supported.”
