Agreed. I spent a lot of time on the other side of these doors. I’m much happier on this side.

Are you hiring?
I have been much happier and prefer working at small to medium sized independent agencies. I’ll never work for a PE firm again after two previous experiences. I would be looking for those if I was in the market for a new job.
Hate the agency and holding company. Love the people I work with.
I love my French overlords.
I wish they’d accept fully remote employees!
I worked at W+K Portland before the pandemic and I liked that a lot most of the time I was there

Stop lying
No, I’ve been wanting to leave for a long time and I’ve been procrastinating on reworking my portfolio because it feels like every agency is awful now (late nights and weekends every week, no bonuses/overtime/or comp time for all that work, utterly useless “leadership”, layoffs without explanation or warning, and the wrong people for some reason stay on the staff while great talent is let go, all the while having their little all-agency meetings pretending everything is great just weeks after laying off a ton of people.)
I just don’t want to leave only for it to be yet another horrible environment, because my current gig is 100% remote, and being disabled, I don’t want to have to go through the process of asking for accommodations that were hard-won in my current position, and I can’t really function well without the accommodation (which is a 4-day week, I’m still working 40 hours or more though which is sort of defeating the purpose of the 4-day accomodation but that’s another story).
Anyone in Los Angeles like the agency they work at? If so, which agency and are they hiring freelance art supervisors/leads? Are they remote or hybrid offices? Thank youuu.
currently no
I thought they were a good shop that put out quality work. Is it not like that anymore?
