Any ideas on planning a quarterly retreat for a startup? Specifically for strategy day and culture. Never planned a quarterly retreat before and is not to sure what it entails. I’ve been told agendas for retreats are very subjective to company but would like some general ideas if anyone has any!

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?

Has anyone accepted an offer, then before you start a better one comes along? I know agencies drop us all the time for better offers, but how does one navigate this?

Anybody here trying to get into Project Management? If so, what makes you want to get into PM?

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?

I can smell your desk from the bathroom

every PM thought i was slammed on another project and left me alone, so i got to chill all day 😎

Secretly waiting for the day when the agency model will collapse. Ad execs can only think of increasing headcount. In the age of ML, AI, and cheap hardware, you're riding on dangerously low fuel.

Confession #2: I didn’t know where to post this, but thought you guys might do me a solid

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

If everything is “asap”, nothing is “asap”

I think I have ADHD. I’m middle-aged. This has never been a problem for me before, but I’ve taken several screening tests and I’m scoring really high. What do I do?

this isn't a confession but it's not a general topic. does anyone use any natural remedies for ADHD?

If my agency wants me back in the office, can I tell them that I’m not planning to get vaccinated (for personal reasons) even if that’s a lie, and would that work?

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

Signed an offer letter today after being laid off for 2 months and not gonna lie, it feels pretty damn good.

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

Who has made the leap from working/living in the US to abroad? Any words of advice?

I’m able to work a full week without ever speaking face to face with another person.
