Any update on work from office in TCS? Are they still calling ? As no. of cases are increasing

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

What's your thoughts on getting a PMP certification? Is it worth it to boost salary?

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

I work at Google and am interested in creating my own agency. Do you have any experience with this? Thoughts?

Have any of you ever worked for a haunted hospital or facility? The senior nurses keep telling me stories and I'm nervous to start nights!

Open to a new role more focused in the tech industry. Have nearly 5 years working in a top 5 Canadian bank. I currently manage a commercial banking portfolio of roughly $100 million in annual commercial lending clients. Have experience selling and managing c-suite etc. Looking for a remote opportunity.

I'm so sick of this agency 🙄

When you become EXECUTIVE creative director, do you have to dress executively like with executive slacks or can you still wear the denim pants?

Agency producers- 3D animatic vs animatic vs boardomatic? Which medium do you think tests better in research?

What, exactly, are these Archive global creative "rankings" based on? I see people posting/humbled-and-honored'ing on LinkedIn and feel like posting that I'm the #17 CD/AD/Freelancer as ranked by both Better Homes & Gardens AND Cat Fancy Magazines.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

What are the steps to becoming a marketing manager on the client side?

VMLY&R merged with Geometry, to develop the "most powerful commerce capability and ad agency at global scale", who's worked with them because this seems like a stretch based on my experience with both.

Any good public strategy resources to learn about Gen-Z?

Any thoughts on Analog Folk?

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

how many of you get high before/during work?

🙋🏻‍♂️

Ted Royer helping JL win VW. Rumor or true?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

What’s the best agency to work at?

Did anyone get a cost of living / inflation raise this year? I heard some people getting them within my agency but I definitely didn’t 😳.

Brands closing for climate change? Wouldn’t that lost income be more effective/useful if they donated it to clean energy alternatives instead? Do a spot about it to promote it & it’s content. Win. Win

I know I’m too “senior” to justify feeling down, inadequate, and like a failure for not selling a campaign today but I do. Usually this stuff just rolls off me but today it isn’t. Is it because the blows hit harder while remote? Anyone else out there feel the same lately?
