Anyone ever been at a creative agency that only brings in strategists as freelance? Even at the CSO level? And anyone they put up for a strategy role in a pitch is a temp. Here’s my question… does this work? Are brands really getting the strategic oversight even if the agency promises “as much of this strategist as you need”. How does freelance strategy departments impact a client/brands experience and outcome?

How do they get away with it?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on leaving a stable but unfulfilling job for another one during these times?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.
