Yeah, what gives. He gave you side-eye and said nothing?

The answer to your question is No. You don't copy the client's boss in an effort to effectively shame them or get them in trouble, that's bad relationship management. Also, why are you doing this and not your account lead?? Smh...

Because in some digital agencies the PM has more direct contact with clients during production process than AE’s do. Weird, I know, but very diff from traditional agencies

My boss is asking me to do someone else’s task while they’re out on medical leave. This is the 2nd thing I’m having to take over for someone since someone else left to another dept.
I am already on the job search looking for a better job. But, he doesn’t know that(obvi). I get annoyed that they keep thinking I can take over anything without compensation.

I started a new job 4 months ago. Have gotten lots of positive feedback. They keep increasing my workload, I am now 200% allocated so I flagged this with my boss before the break who was very receptive and said would get me help. Fast forward to me following up and it’s a completely different story - I am apparently taking too long on things. This shook me. We are going to talk more this week. Advice?

Read a quote that messed me up today after a week of on-site client and all hands work; “better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

It’s a mixture of existentialism and identity crisis juggled almost weekly. It hasn’t stopped since I left 7 years ago, though it pops up less; shows when I’m telling some CFO how much money he has to spend.

Just dropping this to say that you’ve got this, and you’re better as a warrior at peace than someone whose never known a fight. RLTW

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
