When we were on our 10th brief in a row that my partner had not contributed a single idea. I broke up by finding another job.
We were working on a particularly difficult brief and one day my partner said ‘fuck this I resign effective immediately’ and I haven’t spoken to him since. I guess maybe he broke up with me.

I love tht. Did he/she legit quit? Do u know if he/she found work elsewhere? Man, i have always wanted to do it, but never have.
She was really mean to the other capabilities at the agency and it was starting to impact both of us instead of just her. She also never came up with anything, no exaggeration. Our ‘brainstorms’ were just her acting like she was my creative director, going through my ideas and then somehow by the end of it the stuff we could agree on would magically morph into ‘our ideas’. Getting her to comp things was like pulling teeth, we’d regularly show ideas in decks I made with images I found, sometimes I’d even do my best to comp things if I was in love with the idea and wanted to sell it. I told her all this and told her that I couldn’t tolerate it much longer, that I thought our partnership wasn’t equitable and that her being rude and standoffish with everyone was impacting me. A few months went by and she never changed, didn’t even pretend to try. I told her I was going to ask our CD to split us up and she begged me not to do it, she made it incredibly uncomfortable and I felt like I was being manipulated. I was at my breaking point, and at that point I felt like there was no turning back, I didn’t want to ‘hold this over her’ as a looming threat. So I spoke to my CD and he was happy I asked. He told me he’s seen this coming for almost a year, to not worry about it, that he had a new partner in mind for me already. It was the best thing I’ve ever done in my short career, but it was a lesson I had to go through to learn. Don’t ever let your partner skate by doing nothing, say something immediately.
