Do you think agency’s are bias against hiring creative couples?

Yes I’m biased against that.

You run that risk regardless if your teams are married or not. Platonic creative partnerships have an even higher “divorce rate”.

Also, why would you fire anyone for getting a divorce?

I’ve worked with my husband for the last 11 years. We’ve never experienced any bias (that I’m aware of). All most people care about is if your work is good and if you’re pleasant to work with.

I am not 100% bias but i’m wary about it; it is always a gamble. You may be the best dynamic duo, or you can be the most toxic duo, or a couple that would cover for each other. However, I’d give it a fair try

The agency I used to work for had many married couples working there. However, most didn’t work together. We did have a situation where a toxic lead hooked up with a toxic junior and it led to some major conflicts of interest, because he was giving her work that should have gone to a senior. I actually made a few complaints to HR, but that didn’t change the situation. They really should have split them up on to different teams, but they didn’t.

In the end, their own toxic behavior towards others got her fired and he quit, so it worked out in the end. HR could have handled it better though.
