Anyone else feel like there’s an increasing lack of professional courtesy in agency-client comms? Have had multiple instances of people asking for things and then going completely radio silent. Not even an acknowledgment of receipt. I’ve been in this business for a long time, and it never used to be like this.

Yeah, It has become a common things. Even if you find it unprofessional, you're kind of stuck dealing with it. There's not much choice in the matter.
