Anyone here in the advertising field? I just heard the design team talking about the copy team and how our work is so much easier because we don't have to take work back to our homes. I so badly wanted to make a comment, but I held back. How do you release frustration when yelling at your coworkers isn't the way to do it?

I think we all take work home with us in this industry unfortunately.. at least to a certain extent. We all have the same deadlines, so that’s a ridiculous comment for that person to have made. Depending on the team, and clients I’ve gotten better at maintaining boundaries over the years, but I do still bring my work home from time to time. If I’m not working late, I’m often still dealing with the stress after hours. 😑

Oh, I’ve felt that frustration. I usually take a walk or vent privately to a trusted coworker. It’s better than saying something you can’t take back.

Post in the copywriting bowl, see a hundred responses and reactions from other writers who have all experienced the same.
Read the ones from some senior people who point out that how junior of a mindset that is and encourage you to not let it get to you, and more importantly not let it shape your mindset that either discipline is in anything less than a symbiotic dependency with the other.
The ask them to make the logo bigger next time they're about to go home.
