Most people first.
- 73How to stop letting accounting stress ruin my life?“Things have changed so much that even getting through a single day feels like a struggle now. The targets we’re asked to meet feel impossible, and with little support or guidance from management, the pressure has just become too much. It feels like I’m dragging myself to work every day, and my mental state has gone far beyond burnout at this point.”
- 53HubSpot is down and timing out right now“Indeed, I have seen similar incidents happen during dreamforce. This, by far, has the biggest impact.”
- 33How to handle the financial and identity drop after leaving a career“Lots of friends victims to layoffs. If you don’t find a job before the severance runs out, you form an LLC and do freelancing. These people are NOT hunting for nor landing the enterprise implementation contracts. It’s straight up the thing to do so your resume doesn’t have a gap.”
- 33How to handle unexpected software subscription price hikes and slow support“We were hit with a 9% increase! We asked why and our AE cited that it was because we had a lower buy so they 'the renewal team' adjusted the increase upwards.”
- 25How to find a cheaper CRM when HubSpot gets too expensive“At my client went a different route to avoid data going out and license cost. This seems to solve for both.”
- 24Doing the job of a higher role without the promotion or pay“What a piece of shit. I need to get out of SF ecosystem.”
- 23Why do professional certification exams use subjective best answers?“This is my second attempt; I studied thoroughly using Trailhead, videos, and some practice exams, but it wasn't enough, so I'm looking for other resources to help me be better prepared.”
- 21Vendor tech support takes months to respond to tickets“every time without fail lol. they schedule the screenshare, join late, ask you to reproduce the issue you already described in detail, then close the ticket as "resolved" the second you end the call”
- 20How do I stop stressing about the CFE accounting exam?“I've used Salesforce as an end user and just failed to get through the 75 hour module for Trailhead Admin 101 Guide for years now...I start and get overwhelmed.”
- 19Why does fixing AI mistakes take longer than doing it myself?“Even with strict roles within the agent and giving it plenty of resources and examples, it’s still creates results that are simply not true and reliable.”
- 17Why can't I find a job after being laid off at 50+“Just got hit by the layoff wave this morning. Single-income household with a young kid, so I’m in full hustle mode and need to replace income as fast as possible.”
- 17Should customer support live inside our CRM?“Hey so as the title says, I'm looking for some good client success software that syncs well with Salesforce for the company.”
- 16Why do employers ghost you after a job interview?“I want to ask should I follow up with the Hr tomorrow (3rd day after interview) or I just keep on waiting?”
- 13Why am I seeing ads in software I already paid for?“As if I didn't get the million emails about registering for Dreamforce... no, that wasn't enough... I needed ads in my org to be in my face.”
- 12Why is enterprise work software so frustrating to use?“internally we are given so many useless Ai tools, which don't add any value and rather increase our work and then they are going ahead and creating metrics expecting us to use them more.”
- 11How to deal with toxic leadership during company layoffs“That layoff speech, as a former employee (resigned before the layoffs), made me absolutely sick to my stomach.”
- 11Why pay for an expensive SEO suite when you barely use it?“I’m a Real Estate Investor with a small business of 10 employees currently using a Real Estate specific salesforce vendor. At best it feels like they’ve made some modifications and maybe an app or two specific to my niche but nothing major, really nothing that moves the needle at all in our business.”
- 11How to choose certification study materials I can actually trust“Since the K2 cutover, I don’t see this as an option anymore, just the study guides and practice exams.”
- 11Will AI replace software developers and tech jobs?“Since the fear of getting replaced is going up day by day, as a Salesforce developer do we really have a choice to sustain in this upcoming market?”
- 10Why built-in software AI features don't fit real work“Why do we have Ideas out there for 10+ years for functionality that is NEEDED??? We're still sitting in Classic because Lightning doesn't have all the functionality our customers/partners need.”
