Well yes it’s a bit boring, but it’s also wildly complicated and stressful, so there’s that.

An appliance brand is my first real account and I LOVE IT! Large scope and some fun opportunities to be a little out there. Again, first account and little experience but I’m having a blast so far

I thought about that when I started working with a company who makes oscilloscopes, but it is the most innovative thinking, open minded and exciting account I’ve ever worked on.

There are no dull categories. Just dull creatives. Who would have thought that insurance, for God’s sake, would be producing some of the best work—Geico, Progressive...on the other hand, what’s a more exciting product than an automobile? Yet name me one car commercial that you remember—I bet it’s at least ten years’ old.

Ehhh, if it is making you money and paying the bills...be all in, be the creative person they hired you to be! Others could very well take notice then that will open doors to something more challenging. It’s what you make it.

Do you think Fishbowl posts are truly anonymous? It seems likely to me that Fishbowl/GlassDoor is selling companies data with the privacy stripped away so they can see what their employees are posting. Do you think they sell the data but it’s still anonymous?

Like a lot of others, I’m underpaid. I’ve been with my company for 3 years having worked various roles and have been working as a researcher for a couple years now.

Our org is restructuring and part of that is salaries are being reviewed and adjusted.

What are the chances I get the adjustment I deserve? They will need to bump me up 35%. Am I being foolish or do I need to look elsewhere?

CHICAGO creative directors, I’d love to get some thoughts on my book, if you have time. Please DM me and I’ll send you my URL. Thank you!

Would you say summaries are as effective for self help books like "the subtle art of giving a fk" and other similar books? I feel the books themselves ramble on too much on a side story only to tell a point that could be summed up in a couple sentences.
Or am I just not getting good book recommendations for growth/development on mental well being and productivity
