A friend I used to work with asked me to “look out” for them at my new job. The truth is, they weren’t great to work with. Would you give them a second chance or let the past be a warning?

This industry is too small for charity. If they burned you once, don’t help them light the match again.

I’d probably just remain neutral. I wouldn’t go out of my way for anything if I didn’t care to work with them the last time. Not sure if you both changed companies or what, but sometimes other dynamics can be at play that might have made them not so pleasant before.

Uh oh, sounds like you’d be better off without them! I wouldn’t risk it

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can. I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
