No and no. And this is why most of the industry is dying. If what you sell are people’s talents, you should take care of those people.

Used to be a loyal type, worrying about doing an errand on company time, that kind of thing. Then I thought about how I’m essentially getting a pay cut each year I don’t get even get a cost of living raise and now I don’t give that kind of fuck anymore.

1) I was very loyal until I learned - sooner or later - all agencies are not. At some point they will think you are replaceable. Look out for your own career and personal growth.
2) Sadly, no.

No. No. My agency doesn’t invest in their employees, so why should I do the same for them? I’ve started to learn that I am loyal to myself. I am dedicated to producing great work because I am passionate about the industry and I hold high expectations for the work I put out there, but I can do this for any agency!

Sorry to hear you’ve been laid off. It seems as if lay offs are rampant right now. Not sure what’s going on. But that’s besides the point. I’m hoping you find something very soon.

Hey Kanban fans -

Trello? Jira? Other? Why?

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Trello. Can go shallow or deep. Can't beat it for ease of use, robust free features, lot's of options from them/3Ps on the paid side. I haven't had a lot of success on data/tracking / reporting sides.

Kind of the opposite of the One Show I guess. Please share because I cannot fathom how the dry eyes, eye drop commercial I just saw even got presented to a client.
