Anyone else feel like fake urgency is getting out of hand? Every task is marked high priority, but no one can say why. How do you push back without sounding difficult? Always seems to happen on a Friday, too. Most of the time the clients request things even if they’re offline for the weekend.

My daughter had tears streaming down here eyes this morning as she begged me not to go to work. I'm heartbroken. The weekend can't come soon enough.

Shoutout to all the moms and dads in the city. Y’all make parenthood look chic. I’m forever inspired.

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.

Pros and cons of working on an auto brand?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

I'm so sick of this agency 🙄

I have an idea that I think could change the shape and makeup of the industry, and reduce discrimination in the hiring process.

I need to find developers however. Any idea where to look. Self funded

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Got laid off. Just started at the agency. Was so excited because it’s a great shop. Now what?

Hey strategists, what’s something you would love an intern to provide you with or something they have done that made your life a little easier? (Cont.)

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Those that have pivoted/are considering pivoting out of advertising, what are you doing now/interested in doing?

How many of you have met your significant other at work?

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?
