I'm working on an article for Bustle called "How Quarantine Led
To Glacial Relationships.
I'm looking to hear from people whose relationships have slowed
way down, or have been put on pause, due to quarantine. (I'll
only share your first name/age.)
A glacial relationship means you were making plans for the
future, but quarantine has put a stop to them temporarily,
because you aren't able to see each other as often.
Questions: 1. What was your relationship like prior to
quarantine? And what were your hopes for 2020 as a couple? 2.
In what ways has quarantine slowed your relationship so that it
feels "glacial"? (Has it prevented you from moving in together,
going on your first vacation, meeting family?) What kind of
impact has that had?
Thanks!

A controversial op-ed questioning the usefulness of 401k plans
triggered a blunt response from many. Rather than refuting the
piece (this has been done ad nauseum), the article intends to
take the opposite approach. Please email your answers to the
following questions but first restating the question (and it's
original number) then supplying your answer. Please, answers
only - no PR solicitations because we don't answer them.
1) Give 1-2 specific examples of a regular worker (as opposed to
someone from the C-Suite) became "the millionaire next door"
because of saving in their 401k.
2) Why did your examples in question 1 reach the millionaire
level? How did their 401k plan make it easier them achieve this
goal (be specific).
3) Explain whether or not this same strategy can be repeated by
similar employees just beginning their careers today.
4) Given today's circumstances, who might a worker employee a
better strategy (either with or without a 401k)?
5) How should 401k plan sponsors update their older 401k plan
documents to better account for today's circumstances?
6) State your name, title, firm, and city/state location.

How to hire top marketers?
When you hire designers, you can ask them for a portfolio. When

What should you ask marketers? How can they build their
portfolio to show their experience? What questions do you ask?
Would you prefer a video résumé?
Any tips for marketers would be great!
