CD’s that don’t give reviews for their entire team… is that normal? And why would an agency let that slide if that’s abnormal?

I’ve seen it once before. New CCOs came in and inherited the whole creative dept. There was restructuring (layoffs) so they could bring in “their” creatives. They picked their favs from the OG creatives who were still there and only gave reviews to them and the new folks they brought in.

SUPER shady, super disrespectful, bad leadership and last I heard the agency (who was previously award winning) is on the brink of collapse.

They probably don’t want to give raises

Hoe do you mean?

Like they omit certain people?

Depends what you mean by entire team. Let's assume the team is roughly pyramid shaped with CD at the top. They:
1) SHOULD review all their first layer/direct reports
2) MIGHT review other layers of the pyramid
3) OR have direct managers (ACDs for example) conduct those reviews and provide input into via notes or a 360 process
4) If they do not conduct the review they should meet to discuss it prior to the review being finalized and submitted

I have film PA experience, but other than that my background is in retail. Any advice going forward?
