A couple friends of mine applied for junior creative opportunities at West BBDO (LA). I don’t know anyone there. What’s the LA location like for starting creatives?

I hear the same, everyone’s avoiding with a 10 foot pole. But had a weird feeling West BBDO isn’t too bad. Unless I’m wrong.

Take what you can get, bbdo is a great name, jr openings are few and far between. my friend used to work for them in LA, basically all at&t, but big money productions non-stop, tons of book work.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
