Everything at my company is treated like a literal house fire that needs to be extinguished immediately. I got pounced on by three different executives because a minor blog post was published at 10 AM instead of 9 AM, as if the global economy was going to collapse over a 60-minute delay. How do you cultivate a workplace culture where people understand that marketing is never a true life-or-death emergency?

Idk if that exists at most places unfortunately. I’m getting smoked this week on similar asks. One PM is telling me I need to use their “exact copy” in a video because their AI tool said there’s no room for interpretation. Like the audacity to control marketing copy because your agent told you so lol.

I don’t know, but for deadlines I always make them the day after. I think they’re doing my mind that way I always under promise and over deliver. NGL I have certainly missed my share of them.

In this extremely competitive job market, the sharks are circling more than ever. We can all be replaced within an hour with so much talent out of work. Don't risk it. An employer wants what they're paying us for on time, not excuses. What is minor to you is symbolic to them. They can get what they want, when they want, served on a silver platter if they want. Don't tempt fate. Post when they tell you to post, or someone else will step into your position. I've seen it happen more times than I can count, OP. Be careful and prompt. Good luck

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Many thanks.
