They got laid off from their last gig but they’ve decided not to look back in anger. Instead they’ve created a masterplan to takeover the ad world little by little. The agency is called Champagne Supernova, a nod to the dying model of traditional agencies that were once stars with how they celebrate new business.

I understand being annoyed about being unemployed, but no reason to call me a “spoiled ass brat” for posting on an app FULL of complaints about an annoying protocol my manager has.

This isn’t Reddit. Haters aren’t part of the deal. Commenters like this make this app no longer useful or cathartic. Honestly hope this dude lands a gig and finds a more productive outlet for his frustrations.
