An established ad agency set me up to fail - now I’m motivated to push my career further than ever. I received no onboarding from the account team. There wasn’t an intake tracker, a RACI nor a scope tracker in place. My remit tripled from one account to portfolio of several, my responsibilities increased yet my salary remained the same. It’s time to walk off this plantation. I’m exhausted and burnt out. So wishing everyone here a happy BHM - log off - the nonsense will be there on Monday.

The only reason why I know you aren't at my agency is because we have no other POC PMs. Unfortunately, things the case at some many agencies. I'm currently working on an onboarding document for my new PM for this reason I can't rely on the other departments to do any of this leg work.

I went through the same thing as a new hire in January. Received literally no onboarding, was expected to figure it out, and after one month and a week on the job, had my first and only one on one check in with my boss that lasted a mere 15 min.
