Have you been frustrated with someone you work with for underperforming and then you just realize, they are just not that intelligent? SMH. Not sure how these people get through the interview process.

This happened to me on every account I ever worked on at Ogilvy. Sadly, the strategy department (while it has a ton of super smart people too) carries the bulk of these dumb dumbs. That = dangerous influence on overall output.

Well, yeah, not everyone is good at this game. Some need to eventually find a new career.

Some really benefit from mentorship and training. Most agencies are absolutely terrible at developing raw talent though.

Underperforming because they have not yet learned the tasks they’re assigned or underperforming because they don’t feel like working straight up?

Yes and it is beyond frustrating

Yes. 300%. This place is full of gems. #blessed

There’s someone on my team that everything they do I would’ve done the complete opposite. I’m doing my best to be patient with this person but man sometimes I feel like we just need to promote the idiots to a title job so they can be locked in an office by themselves so others can do the real work without having to babysit the deadweight.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

I’ve been approved for a transfer to the AUS office. Early 30s couple, no kids, small dog. Wife will work for the state but doesn’t have an office assigned yet. Looking for a SFH (that isn’t soullessly modern) in the 600-700k range that will suit our interests: walk to a grocery store, maybe a restaurant or two, commute to work in <30 min. Where should we look?

I'm in a litigation, about 9 months in. Is it normal that I spend majority of my time making bundles for my partners (printing, binding, moving docs in a different order whenever there are new documents or he wants to add stuff) reviewing documents and making tables (e.g. dates, which documents are from where), and the only legal work is like notices of admission, list of documents, the occasional research? I'm so bored and I want to quit but I don't know if I have unrealistic expectations.
