Happy Holidays everyone!

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

Trying to find a very nice weekender/duffle for my boyfriend. Price isn’t a concern- I’d like good value for $$ however! Not opposed to any brand (designer or otherwise).

What advice do you have for someone who wants to make a quick and seamless transition from operations to creative?

Hi Fishes,

Looking for advice please!!
Have three offers from Shell, BP and Airbus for IT service delivery role.

BP: 23 Lpa + 1L joining bonus with 1 year lock in ( location : pune)
Airbus: 26lpa + 5 L joining bonus with 3 year lock in( location : bangalore)
Shell: 26 lpa ( final offer being rolled out)location : bangalore

Please advice which company would have a good growth story and work life balance....

Airbus looks attractive but have heard some very harsh reviews on work life balance.

Open ended question: come annual review time, what metrics are you/your team evaluated on?

My manager continues to ask me to help other teams and do work on other billable projects. I’m sick of it .. and I’m going to explicitly say that no I can’t do it because my hours are taken by the existing project we are doing. Is this appropriate?

Honest answers only: what got you interested in this industry? Do you enjoy your work?

What is the most interesting or funny employment issue that you dealt with?

That was a fun little tremor last night...

So, where is everyone from?

What examples of passive aggressive behavior have you seen on this job?

If God is the Creator of all, and we are made in the image of God, imagine what echoes of his creative mind we can produce in our work?

#GetIt #BeEncouraged

A reminder to my fellow creatives - be strong and courageous.

Yeah. So glad you made this fishbowl. I’ve considered leaving this industry in general... i just find it hard to find good ppl. “Bad company corrupts goods morals” (might be butchering).

Need prayer 🙏🏻 some complications with my company transitioning me into a full time position. Now I have to look for a new position and am not having luck. Feeling anxiety. Hard to have faith.

I have been using this emoji 🙏 and saying to so many colleagues and clients “I’ll pray for you” with such warm and genuine receipt that I think sometimes God uses hopelessness to open people’s hearts to Him. I’ve spoken about my faith to work people more than I ever have in my 20 year career. In such a dark time, what a light prayer can be for our coworkers and clients.

How does Christians feel about therapy sessions? Should we be taking our problems to therapists and psychologists or should we take them to God and pray about it?

Anybody have a Christian therapist they recommend? I’d like to start going. Chicago or virtual option. My insurance doesn’t cover it and don’t have a high salary so can’t be super $$$

Thank you for starting this bowl. I come from a strict Christian background and it’s becoming hard to reconcile my faith with agency life. I never used to drink, now I am borderline alcoholic. Need 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just wanted to share a verse that calls us to be redeemers in our workplace. That our faith is not separate from our work.

God is on His throne

Is there a church that is popular with people in advertising?

The thing prayed for became a praise report that’s now back 2 a prayer request. God help me! Grateful for the shift but don’t yet feel I’m walking in my calling. How 2 remain steadfast in the journey?

Anyone looking for junior writers?

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.

Love this thread :)

There are others! 🙌🏽

Is is advised or discouraged to list volunteer service on a resume?

I feel it helps me stand out but am also worried some may judge me helping others through my church with being anti- this or that.
