Currently working with a CD who is just not smart, has no sense of humor, and is crazy out of touch with social and creative trends(we work in social so like…how?)

Back when I was a junior, I used to think all creative directors got there by being smart, creative, and strong leaders. But I guess anyone can fail up 😩

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

Is anyone in this group spent 4 years in public accounting audit still waiting for his/her employer to start Labor petition perm process?

Please let me know if anyone in this group have faced the similar situation?

I wanted to reschedule my hiring manager screen this week because I tested positive for covid and feeling sick with symptoms. Recruiter seemed annoyed and said hiring manager is busy for the rest of the week so I kept the original time slot. Interview is in 2 hrs and I just don’t feel like doing it esp thinking if this is the work culture

Been at my new place for 6 weeks. Cool clients, great pay, more senior role. They’re a new-ish, small-ish shop. People here can’t make a work back to save their life. I am constantly...

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Thanks to the robots, there’s just not a lot left to do.

So why do we still have to spend all our waking time playing office?

Omar from the wire in that W + K spot for the Atlantic. Well done 👏🏽

I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
