Does anyone else get slightly annoyed by extensive notes on creative from project management? I’m fine with flagging things that conflict with strategy, broad thoughts, etc. but it rubs me the wrong way when they come in hard at the beginning of the meeting and start steering the feedback down a certain direction.

Unless it’s spelling/grammar or pointing out a factual inaccuracy, I don’t welcome any comments on creative from project management.

I don’t know if it comes from a place of insecurity but it kind of grinds me that creative often gets reduced to a job anyone can do. I’ve sat in on my fair share of “all-hands fire drills” where everyone is invited to put ideas on a sticky note on a wall for a brief/new biz pitch but I’ve never heard of an all-agency PM problem we are asked to weigh in on their stuff. The tricky part is that every human is creative and has ideas. I don’t mind suggestions but I also feel that I’ve worked very hard to get my job and with that work affords me a disproportionate weight in deciding which creative direction we go in

Not a creative but I feel this. Drives me crazy even if it’s not my work. I always want to ask “please show me your portfolio again?”

Everyone in the room deserves a voice, sometimes the best ideas can come from PMs. That being said, there's a difference between caring about the work and overstepping into the creative. If the latter, speak up. Run the room. If you set boundaries firmly and respectfully, most will get the message. And if it's a regular thing, escalate to your CD.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?
