Absolutely. Almost impossible not to if you work at some big shops and have any self respect.

What sucks is how immature so many “creatives” leaders are, in that any push back or polite confrontation is immediately taken as challenging authority or being “difficult”. In my experience we’re an awfully delicate bunch.

I wear my heart on my sleeve and, as much as I preach not to, take rejection personally. So… lots of 🔥

It’s taken a lot of burned bridges to learn when and how to speak up before it gets to that point - and realizing just because someone’s in a leadership role doesn’t mean they’re good leaders.

Hell yes ! They deserved it and better hope I never do an expose on the toxic, belitting abusive bullshit I put up with!

And I’m sure they’re terrified of the harm you will do. 🙄

I burn my bridges with a blowtorch

I secretly wish to one day leave in a blaze of no-return glory. But everyone I work with is too nice to put them through it. Assholes.

“When one burns one's bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.” —Dylan Thomas

If it’s a bridge you’re willing to burn, it’s probably not one you would want to keep intact anyway. Burn it.

I’ll get to that bridge when I burn it

I build bridges to burn em

Yep. With my last employer. I’m ok with it.
