If by partner you mean spouse, and the stuff I do meaning sex...then yes.

Haha I’m a horrible sex partner too. But a great work partner. Can’t have it all.

More seriously, if this is work related, you are not made for each other.

I’ve been in a place where I felt I wasn’t enough for my work partner. What I found out later was that he made everyone feel that way. It wasn’t me.

You should try to find someone else. They will bring down your confidence and that’s no good for you career. Find someone who will give you the energy to become your best!

Good luck!

Ha, thanks CD1. I know he and I just aren’t a great fit. But even though I know it’s not entirely me, it’s so draining and definitely takes a toll on my self-confidence. Need a new partner and/or a whole new job ASAP.

@ACD1 I hear you but I’d honestly rather work solo (or rotate) than have bad chemistry with a partner. Worked alone for several months while I was between partners and while it was challenging at times, it was much less emotionally draining than dealing with a not-so-great relationship on a daily basis. Hope you get a great partner soon though!

Advertising copywriters, how do you work with an editor? I’ve got one on a website project I’m working on now but have never worked with one before. They’re recommending changes I think are completely stupid. Is this common? When an editor suggests edits, is it normal to have to rewrite whole sections?

If you were a junior creative with some experiences in big network agencies, what would you choose between these two :

A - Big network agency, working only on one account but doing potentially award winning work. Very ambitious and talented team.

B - New unknown agency with a small network backup but several accounts, competing for new clients and the will to win awards too. Two creative teams for now but lots of ambition and possibly more growth and potential to evolve as a junior creative.

I joined an indie agency in NYC a few months ago. Nice and talented people, but their creative work is not outstanding. My copy partner and I felt like we could help them push the envelope, but even tho we try, they still like to play it safe... They “get” the ideas, but aren't willing to take risks. It all starts with the owners and more senior leadership... Any advice on how to motivate them without looking cocky or like we don’t appreciate their work?
