Asked ChatGPT for an angry Trump tweet about theIPG/Omnicom merger and here’s what I got:

“The IPG and OmniSCUM merger is a DISGRACE!!! Total monopoly move — killing competition, creativity, and JOBS!!! These are the same geniuses who gave us terrible ads and worse results!!! Another big fail from the advertising swamp!!! VERY BAD!!!”

I’m a 2nd year out of UG. And about to buy a bmw used 3 series (been on a local client for a few months now). Feel nervous about optics of me driving to work in that car. Is that reasonable or cut it?

I do prosecution and am looking to lateral. Does anyone have recommendations on firms to consider, or ones to avoid? I’m flexible on location.

Hey CF Peeps! As we put 2022 budget/budgeting to bed(ish)… curious as to the changing $ percentages divvied by practice that you mandate/are allowed… IE for every dollar in, how much as a % goes to immediate margin giveback, how much to strategy, how much to creative, how much to client service etc. Anyone actually get a line item for ops/finance? Is it different if you are media vs mass vs shopper vs CRM etc… Help us help you… help us 😋

Those of you that were on Agency and switched over are you producing projects at the same level? Is there operational support? Can you push back on the bad ideas? Are there leaders who ‘get it’?

We have a big project going on and I am the only point person(initiate it, did lot of work, and knows the deets well), seems like my mgr wants to get a headcount. But I want to use this opportunity to get promoted, how can I get this across? Mgr is new(they fired my old mgr), mgr’s mgr is new too(re-org). So not sure if I should/can make a case, or how.

My manager (unknowingly) messaged me on Grindr. What should I do now?

There is a partner that, without fail, calls on Fridays after 6pm anytime I am staffed with him. It’s extremely frustrating since his calls are usually non-urgent and I make it a point to check in early in the day to address anything. Any advice?

I am about to leave my current organization and I have several thousand in outstanding commission owed to me. It is a start up, so I have little faith in their fulfillment if I am not there to hold them responsible. My contract says I must be paid it within 6 months of separation. How have you all handled situations like this?

You ever have one of those days where nothing is going your way, and then you buy some ice cream to bring home, and then the ice cream falls on the floor?

Brands closing for climate change? Wouldn’t that lost income be more effective/useful if they donated it to clean energy alternatives instead? Do a spot about it to promote it & it’s content. Win. Win

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

Hi friends, I am reading this book ‘radical cander’ and was wondering if you have Fav way/ example of receiving and giving tough feedback? Or have any stories about feedback that have stuck with you through your career.

What should you do if they don’t put your name on the credits of work that is yours? Anybody’s had this experience?

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

In your opinion, what advertising/branding/experiential agencies should someone targeting greater San Diego and Los Angeles go after? (Yes, it is very expensive to live in California)

Are there any LA brands/agencies who would consider a candidate that’s not in LA... aka work from home (same time zone though)? 🤔

It took the horrific and completely inexcusable death of George Floyd to move the racism issue to the forefront. And while it’s a crime of a much lesser degree, with different circumstances, what’s it going to take to get ageism properly addressed? Intelligent thoughts/debate requested only please.

Best NYC office location (neighborhood, cross streets) and why?

What happens if your company wins an award for your work after you've left?

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

Our industry needs to change the way it does recruiting. We make it impossible for people to apply directly to agencies. Relying on employee referrals gets good "culture fits" at the cost of diversity
