72 hours is nothing. Usually the CD you interviewed with tells the head of talent they like you. Then the head of talent sits on it for a day. Then they send a request to finance. Finance sits on it for a day and then sends a lower offer back to the head of talent. The head of talent sits on it for a day (or at Publicis it goes to HQ in France for 6 weeks). They then remember to send the offer back to the CD for approval after their morning kombucha and spin class. The CD is super busy or very high, so they sit on it for another day before giving in to the lower offer because finance says they’re broke. The head of talent then finally sends you the email with the offer. That’s like 3 weeks after you interviewed

Helpful CW1!

I’m 72 hours out... since my last (3rd interview- it’s all been so great) but I haven’t heard anything, and I’m kind of getting a little worried...maybe I’m just anxious, but I feel really good about it!

You see someone else doing the job. That same person went in to interview as you were leaving your interview. You run into that person at the mini golf course and they say “what ho chap, I got the job you wanted."

Honestly, to me wait a full two weeks- that’s the time to me around when you’d get an offer especially if not crazy senior. I’d follow up around then and if no reply move on quickly.

Does anyone run a business in addition to their firm? I’m a solo and I’m doing pretty well with about 60-70 billable hours a month. Though that leaves a lot of downtime. Curious if anyone has any second businesses that require about 20 hours a week. Not looking for passive income or franchise ideas though.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)
