Thousands of jobs get slashed, but CEO payouts keep growing. Why are workers bearing the brunt while execs walk away richer than ever? Here’s how to fix the “shared sacrifice” myth.  You know what sucks?  As companies slash jobs by the thousands, their CEOs continue to pocket millions.  In

Good morning! 

Today we’re excited to launch our own micro registrar service, making it easier than ever to purchase and connect .cv domains to your read.cv profile, site, or any other third party service on the web!

I've been sick lately so I'm celebrating NYE by updating all my financial spreadsheets 🤷🏻‍♀️

Daylight saving time didn't hit me immediately but I am for sure feeling the struggle this weekend

Something has been wrong with Spotify all day it seems.. Just refuses to play certain songs (aka the songs I want to play)

Time is a flat circle because I'm perpetually working on my portfolio case studies while streaming the Golden Globes

This may have been shared already but some truth bombs being dropped here: https://trends.uxdesign.cc/

Purely anecdotal but anytime someone has assured me "don't worry, I'll follow up with you" — 100% of the time they do not do that lol 

And it may be a "polite" way of telling me "for the love of god please don't message me" but idk, there must be a better way

Updated my portfolio site. adameastburn.net 

I have open availability for creative stuff like:
- short animations, explainers, ads
- gifs and logo animations
- illustrations 
- visual branding

Beginning to think about which companies to apply for if/when I'm unemployed again (contract may or may not be ending in early Feb)

I think I may be blacklisted at certain companies for applying too much but that's not actually proven, just me feeling like this Garfield meme

I have published on my website (and on read.cv, of course) my latest project, the visual campaign for Zaragoza Fear Fest, inspired by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Lukewarm take: If hiring managers want people to succeed, they would share as much information upfront as possible. Especially with design tests. Treating applicants equally doesn't have to mean keeping everyone in the dark. Don't you *want* to hire someone?

No design opinions today only eevee coin flips

It's annoying when third-party recruiters message me the same job but it's even worse when it's with the company that laid me off.. 

It may have been a while since I worked there but it is still the second company listed on my Linkedin 🙄

Watching this video and it's a good example of AI features falling short and not making much sense, like, at all

Watching Conclave and part of this movie feels very "IC who doesn't want to be a manager"

I don't think this post is that spicy but maybe it is by Linkedin standards, idk

Curation is easy, creating is hard. Reacting is safe; creating opens you up to being criticized and reacted to. “It’s too ugly”, “it’s not professional enough”, “AI could do this better”. 

But still, people keep creating.

Woke up salty this morning but this has been on my mind lately, just saw the one comment to finally trigger a post lol

I don't know if there's any fans of the TV show Evil here but even if you're just into a mix of illustration, typography + motion design, I think the work here is worth checking out: http://balvis.com/evil_season_2.html

There's "mental health days" and then there's "my brain is blue screening today" kind of days

I feel like I would be so powerful if I was able to work on a normal team at a normally functioning company

The Sephora checkout page is a masterclass in what *not* to do

Seeing a video of Mark Zuckerberg and being unsure if it's AI or just him

Take care of yourself.

Check in on loved ones.

Get some rest.

Go offline.

Breathe.

Not being able to delete the default styles for Figma Slides drives me craaaaaaazy

Made a Bluesky account here: https://bsky.app/profile/jamiesiggy.bsky.social

I like when you read a bunch of startup names together and it just sounds like pure nonsense.. Like "I worked at prestigious startups such as Squirble, Blorp and Derpify"

I feel like the "ditch the 9 to 5, be an entrepreneur" posts on LinkedIn miss the point about still relying in some way on other businesses lol

Inspired by this piece by René Magritte ("L'acte de foi")

Today's example of copy that could be improved

Not sure what 2025 has in store but I'm glad that the Posts community is here for whatever happens next 🌟

ps whoever is my 200th follower will be my new favorite person (them's the rules)

It's been asked around here at least a couple of times: which typefaces were made by women?

Thankfully a designer at Mozilla wrote this book all about female type designers (though it's sold out rn)

For anyone who I haven't added yet, let's connect on Linkedin where I'm sure I'll be posting more salty takes in the future: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiesigadel/

I forget if you need my email to connect but it's jamie.sigadel@gmail.com

Why can't people like Zuckerberg and Musk do the easy thing of simply offering people in need actual help instead of.. literally everything they choose to do? 

This message brought to you by Musk stuttering his way through a failed attempt at spreading more misinformation

Currently not considering making a design-specific profile on Bluesky but that may change when I eventually need to find another job.. we'll seeeeeeee

Only recently came upon this website, lots of cool inspiration

No matter what, people will support people. There is still humanity here after all. If you're looking for support during this time or know someone who needs it, please reach out if you're able. Do yourself a favor, do not suffer alone.

I created a period tracker called Period or Not available to try on TestFlight. I don’t consider this app fully finished but I would greatly appreciate women test it and give me feedback so I can prepare v1.

I feel like I haven't been as active on here lately because I went from chronically unemployed to contractually employed to extremely burnt-out lol 

Still trying to squeeze out the occasional design opinion from time to time tho, I strive to be somewhat helpful

When we diversify business, everyone benefits. Would love anyone’s support on this, honestly nervous to put myself out there so openly queer, but it feels more important than ever. ❤️ queer.work

Not a fan of Workday, like, at all but this Chrome extension makes it so you don't have to fill everything out a million times: https://simplify.jobs/copilot

Meta wants to introduce AI generated users to Facebook and Instagram.. that's one way to boost engagement, I guess

Now that we're living in what feels like a fascist, cyberpunk hell...I've found myself drawn to a nascent genre called "hopepunk". An emotional and intellectual counterprogramming to unrelenting nihilism which is at core of fascist culture. Here are some recs:

First official rejection email of 2025 woooooo

I just registered posts.club, where I will be listing ongoing initiatives to keep the community here going beyond posts.cv's shutdown on February 28th.

If there's anything you'd like to see added there, please let me know!
