To the partners and/or managers that send requests at 4 PM on a Friday without prior alignment… there is a special place in hell for you and the fact that you will burn there for eternity is not punishment enough…

Hello! I’m currently employed at a FAANG company where things are looking like my role/team might be eliminated at the end of the year, so I’m putting out applications to get ahead of the curve.

Hi, i have been laid off by publicis sapient & my LWD was at 30dec, 2022. I got a job within 15 days and asked ps to prepone my LWD to 30nov, 2022. During the layoff meeting they said I will get salary till 30th dec, even of i leave early with bonus of 5% of my total compensation and leave encashment money also. With all this I am supposed to get approx 2 lakh. But I got 56k today. I am not sure if it is the F&f settlement or not. Can anyone help?

Website question: is it bad to have a few spots that are over five years old? I keep them down at the bottom and the majority are much newer so they sort of serve as a ‘best of’ my older work.

If you were to transition from bedside which path would you choose?? Education, Quality management/coordinator, Administration?

Can someone explain the concept of earned media? Is it supposed to be relationship driven?

Calling all managers with junior, intern and mid teams: Who is taking (or is being given) the time to train their juniors on the necessary hard and soft skills? If not, what’s stopping you from providing that support?

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

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

I just noticed that I have a “touch base” scheduled for 9:15, then a “check in” at 11:00 on the same project.

I’ll let you know what the difference is when we circle back.

Time to hire—I've seen dozens of fledgling lists/databases of available creative talent & diverse talent. Which ones are people actually using?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

I want to quit and give myself a couple months to find a new job and enjoy my life. Someone told me I need to approach my reason for leaving sensitively as I don't want to ruin my connections and references. Any tips?
How do I put in my notice with no new job offer without coming out and saying "this place no longer fulfills me and I want to be able to breath for a couple months when I search for something new" ?

Now how about the most toxic Agency A-List. With a short description of why it makes the list. It’s an important list. For the well being of everybody.

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. 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.
