Given the recent Omnicom/IPG fiasco, CoLab has taken a step down in terms of worst places to be.

It’s funny/sad that a year ago I turned down a job at CoLab because of the unimpressive salary and benefits and stayed put at my job at an IPG agency. Lo and behold…..

Coach:
You would have been in the same boat. I got laid off from FauxLab back in Feb.

Nope. Worse even! Lay offs last year with no apparent filling of those positions were terrible, late nights and weekend work has become the expectation, and the vibe is downright miserably. My last day is next Wednesday and I feel pathetically giddy!

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
