Do some people really ONLY use their PTO/sick time?
I requested some days off and my manager reminded me, “You don’t have any paid time left.” I’m aware. But my life doesn’t revolve around my job.
They didn’t deny my time off, but it just made me wonder, “What do other people do?”

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
