Did everyone think their agency looked after them this year? In what was such a messed up year.

Well, my turn to feel like crap. Silently crying in the back of the Uber taking me home, where more hours of work await. Yeaaaah. That kind of day

What’s a good Marriott Bonvoy points vs $ conversion to make decisions on using points or $?
I’m contemplating 40k points vs $168 including taxes at a category 4 location

Potentially at an all time low - personally, professionally and emotionally. I have to believe that life’s inflection points happen for a reason. There’s a bigger lesson for me around this corner...

Is the saying “man of the house” sexist?

Looking for some mental health advice - I’ve been dealing with pretty debilitating anxiety/panic attacks for over 5 years. Finally started to get some help for it through medication, however the first 3 meds my PCP prescribed me (ssris) didn’t work. Because I haven’t deal with the anxiety it’s gotten really bad. Do I go to a pyscitatrist whose trained more in pharma or start with therapist. Have done therapy in past without much help.

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.

18 children dead!! What is wrong with this country?

Manyata folks,

How about hanging out today at some nearby Biriyani restaurant?

Agenda: Just to socialize

Those of you who moved out of NYC permanently - how old were you, what made you move, and and what do you do now for work?

Doing those mid year peer/self review kills all time that would be better spent pretending to help my clients

Mother has an office in Brooklyn yeah? Anyone know anything or have an in?

I am a ft interior designer, full time mom that also does part time photography on the side. I currently make 90K as a designer and bring in around 20K as a photographer/yr. My design job allows for me to work 100% remotely which helps with daycare pick up and drop off. I feel like I am not making as much as I should as an interior designer PM, and I have spoken to my higher ups about a pay raise with no luck since the pandemic hit the coliving residential market hard. *Continued below*

Did anyone here have a professor or mentor that changed their life and got them into this industry?

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

Anyone with type 2 diabetes while on the road each week? What works for you and how do you keep your blood sugar levels in control? How do you monitor your levels?

Leo loses Allstate to Droga. I know this was a long time coming, but it’s yet another big loss for Chicago.

How do you address someone who seems condescending? We’ve never met in person, and they’re slightly more senior, on a parallel team. (Not at TBWA)

How long does a Defendant have to oppose a motion for leave to amend a Complaint in Florida for a matter pending in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County?

How many Cannes Lions has Ireland won as an industry? Who were the agencies? What work?

Who’s going to own up to the Centra ad? Is it a creative agency? A PR agency? In-house?

BBH opening an office here is great to see.

Anyone on the IndieList. How are you finding it?

Love those Orchard Thieves Xmas VODs 👏

New Hunky Dory ad 👏 More of these please!

What's the deal with Droga Dublin? Is this Rothco's third new name?

Anywhere hiring at the minute?

The Super Valu Christmas ad is so good. That’s the winner this year for me 👏👏👏

Which Dublin agency is the most well rounded?

Any copywriters out there looking for an agency or a partner?

9 more weeks of lockdown, at least. How are you all holding up? It’s not easy.

How long will your agency keep letting you WFH?

ICAD commendation list is in the Sunday Business Post. What do we think will get the higher metals?

Like the new Denny work from Droga. The insight of the grandad who can't quite find his role in the new family dynamic is lovely. But the grand dad/grandad line at the end, you just couldn't help yourself could you?

Anyone remember that Pat The Baker ad from about 10 years ago with the Polish lad singing "Now Pet is on his veyyyy!"?

Anyone actually use this?

If Dublin agencies were football clubs. Anyone want to have a go?
