Manager POV: At most agencies these days, it’s very likely that your “manager” is actually a senior {insert contributor role} who’s been technically promoted into management but still has a ton of executional responsibility. The “Director Who’s Still a Doer” phenom is real.
If that’s the case for you, your ability to not be another problem they need to solve is probably your greatest value to them. That, and being as billable as possible without distracting them from their own billability targets. Sucks, but it’s common.
Blame clients who won’t pay for mentorship, agencies that don’t build it into their scopes, or both.

I had three managers in a row who never “had time” for 1:1 — or reviews. My current manager seems to think he’s not my manager.
I’m pretty sure none of them give a hoot about my “growth.”

Often. Hence, job hopping.
I wish. In this current job market, it seems impossible.
Yep. Had a manager use the areas I wanted to grow in to screw me over and got me pushed off the account I was solely dedicated to!
