You must be at Digitas! Welcome! 😂😩🙄 My biggest tip is to pitch a fit NOW to get them to give you a Mac. You can only really use that card right when you first start. Say you have never used a pc for work and you’ll be more efficient with a Mac.

They told me that macs are only for creatives 😒

FWIW they also told me that so I befriended an IT guy and bugged him every day about it until he gave me one. I’m your same level, fyi.

As a Publicis employee, sorry. I’ve asked for a Mac multiple times and they claim it’s because we need the full scope of Excel. But I have AM friends at a small Publicis agency and they get Macs, and that gap between excel for Mac and PC has closed significantly so I dont know why we must have PCs.

You’ll get used to it with time, but some good things to know are: ctl+z is your new undo (Ctl is the same as an Apple “Command” button. Most of the shortcuts will work the same with Ctl). Careful if you press the FN button, and if your keyboard isn’t working correctly it’s probably because you pressed FN or FN+something. Download chrome because Edge sucks as a platform. You’ll need to set it as your default search engine in outlook. I forgot how, so just google that for directions. If you need to take screenshots, search for “snipping” in the windows menu and then right click on the snipping tool app and select “pin to start” so you have easier access to the tool. File explorer doesn’t have a way to preview files like using the spacebar on a Mac, and if you’re copying and pasting a lot you’ll get a popup for sticky keys. Don’t accept the sticky keys. It’s annoying.

I have no idea, but the sound it makes whenever the sticky keys question pops up scares tf out of me!

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
