99% of those who are directors or higher have angry issues and blow minor mistakes way out of proportion.

I wonder if that's just a prerequisite to getting promoted, lol. No but really, it does feel like I've seen a lot of higher-level managers with a short fuse. I know they probably work hard, but at the end of the day, is it worth it to be so stressed and angry all the time?

Yup. Yet their mistakes are never "mistakes", just the fault of someone below them because they can blame whoever they want. I swear the bigger the ego, the faster they float to the top.

It's almost as if working in a field that rewards the psychologically damaged and emotionally immature has consequences. Hmmm. Seriously, you'll run into people in high positions who have a fine opinion of themselves, and some of them do tend to lose it over things that really don't matter all that much. In fairness, I've worked with smart people who simply couldn't abide fools, but that's still no excuse for angry outbursts.

Actually, you know what? You’re right. Overall, that has been my experience. I spend more time talking my director off a ledge than getting my actual job done. I wonder why that is? I assume it’s because they’re all type a personalities

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
