CDs/GCDs at network agencies. How often are you being put in multiple team projects where you are competing agains jr, mid, and sr level creatives, led by CCO or ECD? Such a lose-lose situation I feel. If you hit the mark with ideas, it feels like duh you are a CD. And the younger teams might resent you. If you don’t then you feel like a sh*t. 🤦‍♀️

Maybe spend less time worrying about what others may or may not be feeling. Then support others when they are on the right track to make up for any of that resentment. At the end of the day, you're just doing your job!

I'm asked to pitch in to help other teams with ideas every so often. If it's my account, I'm choosing the teams and I also choose whether or not to participate myself. If it's my team, I don't worry if the idea is mine or from someone on my team. A good idea can come from anywhere and there's no way a junior would have an idea that makes it very far without some sort of input from me, and that's expected -- it's my job to help the work along. I welcome anyone to tell me they don't "get" an idea I had, and I've definitely had people poke holes at my work. I'm fine with letting it go if it doesn't hold up.

If I'm helping another team, I don't worry about "competing" with others because I'm generally not asked to help in round 1. What moves forward isn't my decision so it's not like I'm picking my idea over anyone else's, and if nothing of mine makes it through, that's fine. If it does, I don't get the sense that there's resentment because they needed the extra ideas.

All the time. The more senior you are, the more solving problems is your responsibility. So if they need someone to write banner copy or come up a campaign idea or whatever, that’s what I do.

This is it. I don't have to get my hands dirty often, but when I do, it's because it's the eleventh hour, the work hasn't quite hit the mark yet and it's my job to make sure it does.

Hoping for some Friday Friendliness on this one: have several team match discussions coming up for Product Management roles. How would you advise getting a good feel for the team, assessing the lead, and otherwise proving the team dynamic?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run? I’m the only mechanical engineer at my company dealing with a half dozen cranky production managers who think that I can “work my magic” on a machine. It’s not magic, just ignorance about the machine actually works. How to I get a manager to stop caring about the end product long enough for me to actually teach them about their own machine?

A couple of team members have rephrased what I just said during meetings. What’s a good way to acknowledge it and ask them why they are repeating what I’ve just said?

Anyone have specific financial goals they're willing to share and how to get there? I'm 30 yo, l10 and $$ gives me anxiety. Currently making ~$95k with $30k in brokerage and $30k 401k. Or, tips for not stressing out that I'll be broke in retirement? Should I make a lateral move out at some point and target a $250k salary by X age?

This yr would be the first time im eligible to vote. The primary is coming up for my state. Im a bit confused as to what were voting for. Arent the candidates already determined? Is Joe Biden not the democratic nominee and the incumbent president would automatically default to being the other parties candidate as long as theyre eligible. What am i missing? The resources online are horrible and say that were voting for our parties preferential candidate...again isnt that already determined?
