Ever get frustrated with your partner when concepting because you are usually the one to come up with all the ideas? Carrying the team on your back but never getting recognition for it because 💫creative partnership💫 ?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

I had a divorce mediation last week. The client wasn’t thrilled with the results (is anyone after mediation?) but we left with the two things she wanted: the house and her pension. She thanked me. My office sent the bill a few days later, and client wrote my boss a very long, angry email claiming I gave her incompetent representation. My boss backed me 100%, but I haven’t been practicing very long, so it really stung. Anyone have advice on dealing with self doubt in these situations?

What to do if you have a crush on your boss and it seems to be reciprocated? Does this ever work out well?

Ladies, what's your favorite shoe brand for work?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Let me ask, at what point, when communication isn’t being returned, do you just go ahead and do the thing you’re inquiring/asking?

I’m fed up with communicating like a mad man to have nothing returned and then painted like a bad person/employee for not having work done.

MDs - do you insist that nurses / staff / patients refer to your title as Dr. so and so; or do you allow people to address you by your first name?

Today no one came into our restaurant and my boss started crying. Do I... comfort them? Leave them be?

Partners: what would you think if a first year associate tells you she is pregnant? And what advise would you give about telling my partners? It was totally unplanned so now I am scared that this may hurt my career and I would be seen as not being committed to the job. This will be my second kid but we had our first while I was in law school. Most of the partners I am working with have at least two kids but also they are men. No female associates with kids in my office.

Have you ever had an ED/behavior student who liked to be restrained? Why and is that a common thing?

So, this is a very personal kind of question, but I hope people relate and can provide an answer. I am CLOSE friends with a peer on my team and they an awful engineer and I'm always showing them up, simply by doing the right work. It's getting to a point where I'm getting bogged down by them, and I don't know if our manager will notice or if I need to do something to bring it up. What's the ideal solution for this? Maybe a stealth approach I haven't thought of? I don't want them to be fired...

To all ladies that wear backpacks to work, which one do you like the most? Starting a new job soon and don’t want to wear crossbody bags

What to do with a candidate who calls me even on a Sunday and bugs me? This is a bgv negative candidate who has given some fraud documents and hence bgv became negative but being a HR who continuously takes calls this is really becoming annoying where even Sunday i don't get a break and he is pinging me even on WhatsApp

We're all supposed to pool our tips but I'm pretty sure the waiters are keeping most of the money for themselves. I already told the manager and she kinda blew me off. Anyone else been through this?

Another salesman told a client their ad campaign would be ready next week. Today our supervisor told me to help him, but he has hardly even started the work. Is there any way for me to point this out without feeling like a jerk

I’ve been on partial secondment at a FAANG. Apparently it ended 3 weeks ago but neither the AGC nor relationship partner told me (until tonight) and I’ve still been attending internal meetings and billing to the client. 1) wtf, and 2) should I do any CYA?

I’m working exclusively with a Manager and Director (as an associate) on an project and feel like I’m getting no help from either. It’s been very difficult to ask questions since they are both cont.

One of my teammates has been taking credit for my work lately. I don't know how to address this without him getting defensive. Please help!

What do you get your boss when they announce they are pregnant and taking maternity leave? Something like a baby shower gift? Anything at all? Where is the line? We are not friends but we're definitely friendly.

Good Morning, I have 8 years of experience as a healthcare consultant, and I have my MPA in Heath Services Management. Any ideas what roles I may qualify for within the company?

Seeing a psychologist for anxiety and she left it up to me to decide if I want to try medication (with a referral to a psychiatrist). How should I think about whether or not I can benefit from medication?

All my work friends are either gone or about to resign. Have a great weekend.

I looked up the creatives on some of the funnier super bowl ads that got pre-released, almost none of them are still at their agencies lol.

The great resignation indeed

Interviewing at a late stage startup. During screener with internal recruiter, was told base would be X. Halfway through interview process, recruiter says that base is actually 10% less than X. Red flag?

I am from the US and I'm traveling to Europe next week for the first time ever. I have read that tipping culture at restaurants and bars is different over there, so I wondered if this is true and if anyone knows, how should I prepare accordingly?

Is it possible to make a million in any sales position? I see so many classes and books on how to be a millionaire by selling. Seems like BS.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Hi Experts,

Suggest me some debt funds. Looking for investment for 3-5 years.

Would anyone classify their work as “difficult?” I get some jobs being mentally tougher than others due to volume, stress/expectations, or time spent working, but can anyone subjectively say that their work requires having a certain level of intellect in order to truly succeed? If so, what do you do that makes it considered difficult?

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

Best agencies in Melbourne?

I try and find new creative stuff everyday on ad age creativity, Behance etc and am craving some tech equivalents. What are your go to resources for news on innovations in the tech space? Neural net, AR/VR, blockchain etc.

Wondering if anyone would be willing to share their favorite design-y book, website, or design studio?
I’m feeling uninspired (and kinda bummed out) lately and would love to discover something new and cool.
I’ll start — one of the most inspiring books I’ve read is Stefan Sagmeister’s pitch book for The Happy Film. I’m not sure many people know it exists, but it’s worth picking up. It’s also super short, literally tiny, and a breath of fresh air. Especially lately.

CD’s in Austin, what’s the salary range these days?

If someone lets you know the position has been filled at the job you applied for and to check back later, can you ask how you could improve or ask what they are looking for?

New rule: if your project gets shortlisted, post a link to the actual work or case study, not a dumb square the rest of your connections couldn't care less about. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. #oneshow #clios

Question for creatives what’s another title outside of design manager? I’m getting promoted but I don’t think that title suits what I really do

Applying and getting a fully remote position on the opposite coast then moving, anyone ever done this?

I joined an indie agency in NYC a few months ago. Nice and talented people, but their creative work is not outstanding. My copy partner and I felt like we could help them push the envelope, but even tho we try, they still like to play it safe... They “get” the ideas, but aren't willing to take risks. It all starts with the owners and more senior leadership... Any advice on how to motivate them without looking cocky or like we don’t appreciate their work?

What matters more, the agency or the account?

Pick one. Explain your choice:

1. High pressure agency job with high profile clients and potential for award winning work but no work life balance

2. Low pressure agency job at a place maybe no one has heard of, making work no one will see.

3. 9-5 "creative" job outside of advertising with little to no real conceptual thinking

Yes, hello? Why am I Mr. Sparkle?

I like to ask permission from the agency/client to post work on my site. Do people have a template for making that sort of request, or do you just go by the individual place’s vibes?
