Like we hate it in its own right? Or just as an extension of our personal self-loathing?

On some days / weeks / months and with certain employers / clients, yes. It's the nature of the business, especially (for me) when deadlines all collide and it results it major OT.

I was in brand/design agencies for 10 years and eventually hated it...lol!

Not yet.

The clients. I know, I know- they pay the bill.

It’s definitely a love-hate kind of thing. Depends on the day you ask me tbh.

The every part of this industry. Every part.

Nope.

yes. we are bad people.

i hate aspects of it, if that makes sense. it's definitely not what i want to be doing, but i don't wake up every morning hating my life, i have great benefits, and i'd like to think i've gotten good at it. i know that's more than what most people can say..

I used to love it. Now I hate it. As a Creative Director, I regret ever stepping into this role—only to become jaded by the mediocrity of today’s workforce. The days of craftsmanship are gone. Work is assembled like factory products, interchangeable and soulless. Once, quality work set the standard and stood as the star; now, it’s the exception.

Nope, it’s been a great career I feel fortunate to have had thus far. Many challenges no doubt, and things have changed a lot in the last 5-10 years, but wouldn’t trade it.

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression? I first started noticing difficulties in articulating my thoughts at university and my career in consulting has only made this more prominent. I feel embarrassed, really depressed and incompetent because of this. This is one of the greatest anxieties I have regarding my performance and I find it is really effecting my development.

CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.
