Senior revving up to manager promo. Only nervous about one thing at the manager level which is having to answer pointed “Why??” questions from higher up clients on live calls.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Is there a Latinos in advertising bowl?!

Does anyone have any useful articles, tweets, insta posts that I could send people when they say “if I can’t say that then what CAN I say, everything is offensive.” I’m tired.

Does anyone have experience confronting workplace inequality? Any lawyer recommendations? Things to say/not say?

I don’t trust HR and I don’t know what to do.

I notice that your “visual identity” for this workshop represents different sexes and different cultures - but no older people - who are now bearing the brunt of ageism. Why have we been left out?

Does anyone talk about economic diversity? You know middle class and economically challenged people who cannot afford art schools and expensive private colleges?

Mcgarrybowen San Francisco? Any thoughts?

I’m sad that instead of showing that there are no differences between human beings, we are advocating for races (what I understand it is very necessary). Just afraid that will create more division.
