Flipping this: VMLY&R is by far the most age diverse agency. You can actually retire from the agency rather than get pushed out at 40. It’s a breath of fresh air to have teams with a wide range of ages/experience. Mixed gen teams are the future.

Mine. It’s just built into the model/ billing rates. You get expensive and not as shiny and fun. Experience isn’t valued at all. Reinventing the wheel every time is the norm.

CCO at my company said “experience is the worst thing you can have.” Older people are not valued here.

CW 1, during an interview at Havas, an ACD said, "Just to warn you, we pay loud rap here with lots of swear words." The creatives I interviewed with were the biggest turn-offs, ended up walking away not interested. The only cool thing about that place is the space.

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

How do you navigate a working relationship where someone in a different department but at the same director level as you consistently assumes seniority over you? The thing is they're great and can be an ally, but they're frequently shutting down the team's work and having a negative impact on the team's morale and output.

Bitcoin boys be like it’s a stable asset and is alternative to central bank money printer currency...meanwhile it goes up 15% in a week and drops 20% the next. Definitely stable with good liquidity and definitely no ponzi tether behind the scenes. One thing you should look at is that in the last month or so tether printed no new tether. Wonder how prices have reacted in the last month or so.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
