When I first heard about that I predicted that the only ones who were going see any money were the attorneys. I hate that that outcome is so f’ing cliche now 😞

No but I’ve heard it’s very hard to do without compiling lots of documented evidence of wrongdoing (discrimination, retaliation etc). Depending on where you are I believe most states have an “at will” clause that allows employers to let go of anyone, anytime without any legal recourse.

Yeah but all they have to say is “performance” or any other reason, it’s incredibly easy to do. They do it all the time. Much harder to prove they did it in an illegal manner unless you have concrete evidence.

I know Havas Chicago was sued a few years ago by former employees because some all agency emails went out about not deleting communications with or about those people.

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
