Well, do they know you hate them? The ad biz is a very small community. Burning bridges can have a negative effect in the long run. We all run into aholes in this biz. The trick is, take the high road and do your job the best you can and succeed! Move on to another agency. It’s all a big game. Think of it as a card game. NEVER show your hand. Just keep swimming along and smiling. Something better will come up.

They’re reported and I left. Do I have to keep them on LinkedIn is the question lol

I’m a prolific user of the block and ‘remove connection’ feature. One of the few ways to professionally express contempt lol

Good to know thank you. This stuff is tricky

Unless they are posting toxic stuff no reason to remove the connections, that’s just hurting you by reducing your network reach

Hehe. Love this. Half the time I want this but then half the time I’m like they don’t deserve access to me

Funny thing about it professional hate is that it doesn’t always cut both ways, despite however convinced you are that it does. Keep those shmucks around. You literally never know who might be willing and able to help you someday.

29, Currently a Deli Manager with over 3 years experience. I am completely burned out. I need a immediate career change we’re I can continue to support my self. I have experience in Banking, Real Estate, Shipping, caregiving, and the obvious retail experience. I do unfortunately have a deferred adjudication for theft it was dismissed a year ago, so I have 4 more years to seal the record. I would appreciate any recommendations. Background check anxiety holds me back .

This is targeted at other Project/Program managers. Right now I work in the Veterinary pharmaceutical business. I’ll likely be making a pivot sometime next spring, but am unsure what direction to go in. An obvious choice is human pharma, but getting into tech also seems appealing. Any insight from people who’ve been in both worlds would be helpful. :)
