Does anyone have experience with being in a group with a bad reputation throughout the agency? Is it smart to distance yourself? Or best to play the game?

People's initial bias will be a halo association they have with the group. Their lasting impression of you will be related to the work you do with them. So do good work, collaborate and focus on producing greater results for the entire team.

I have had that honor once. If you are senior enough try to find strategies to help the members of the team succeed. I was personally a poor performer at one job and found ways to succeed and after a while was a trusted person on the team. It just takes time

You don't have to sell your soul to do your job and do great work. Do what feels right, don't fall into shady business and good karma will follow.

Looking for recommendations: off-road/4x4 paths near the perimeter.

So my current situation: living ITP but recently bought a 4x4 Taco and want to make sure I maintain the system by running it on some dirt. Total beginner to off-road, not looking for anything technical (don’t have recovery equipment yet), so mainly just looking for an unpaved area I can run the 4x4 for a bit. I understand i’ll probably have to venture a bit OTP but any recommendations are welcomed! TIA

Transitioning from full time agency life to be a freelancer and/or part timer. How have folks negotiated their rate, hourly vs day? For reference, I’m in the Account/Project Management space and have 8+ years of experience. And I’d ideally like the rate to result in more $$ than what I was making when salaried. Thanks!

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
