99.9 percent of people are greedy and complain and are never thankful for what they do have. Even if they had more money they would still complain. Can I live in a mountain with just a select few people and a dog ?

Agreed. Especially in this industry.

My theory is that most agency people come from a somewhat higher socio-economic background so tend to take things for granted.

Just the fact that many of us can work from home when COVID cases are highest is an enormous privilege that many Americans don’t have.

On the flip side of your comment, I’ve done my best financially when I’ve been most grateful for even the littlest things.

I don’t know if it’s always greed. Sometimes it’s knowing your worth. When you see incompetent people above you making more, you believe you deserve more.

Nothing wrong with being pragmatic.

We make ads for money. I could argue that the reverse is actually grosser. Taking less money to work on “cool” brands. You know what’s “cool”? Having a home, providing for your family, and being able to retire.

Can we deduct our WFH spaces this year from our taxes? Especially if we moved into an apartment with an extra room for a home office? Paying considerably more in rent just to have a place to separate from the chaos in the background.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
