Has anyone ever been removed off an engagement cause of bad attitude. Did you get fired or did you get assigned to another project?

Assigned to another project, but writing was on the wall and I worked on my exit

Watched it happen to a coworker that just didn’t get it. Was put into a “performance improvement plan” and then blamed his manager when he failed to improve. Doubt he learned his lesson. Big warning sign: almost daily complaints about how messed up his previous employer was.

Yes know a few. Had to take them off from the project.

Did you give them warning before hand?

I wouldn’t say “I” had the attitude but the manger and I didn’t mix and I was rolled off because of the “fit”. Just rolled onto another one no issues.

What kind of issues?

I've rolled people for bad attitude, and put them on PIP.

Some improved, some are gone. I've had SMs roll people off for fit with client or team, but that isn't a performance issue.

Depends what you mean by "bad attitude" is this a question about your performance or someone elses?

Yeah, sounds like you have an attitude problem. We all have to work with a certain amount of flexibility. If you had a client who wasn’t entirely tech savvy, so they don’t know what they’re talking about, would you treat them the same? Your reaction to this and your irritation is entirely a performance issue which needs to be coached. The result of this is probably a poor snapshot and possibly a PIP.

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously). For instance, he forgot something non-work related, said “sign of old age”. He recently told a story, said, this is how old people talk. He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio.

No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions). I’ve happily had a crack at helping them but it’s a bit out of my wheelhouse - is this ask something that would ordinarily be given to an agency copywriter? Or would it usually be something a content or speech writer would do?
Either way, I’m happy to add the additional skill to my CV 😅
