Have you ever heard co workers or peers openly speak negative about DEI efforts in the workplace? If so, how to you have a conversation with them about the importance of the work? Or do you not engage with them at all and just leave them be? I’m having an issue NOT engaging even though we all know that these individuals stand ten toes down in ignorance.

How do we ignore that?

If you were attracted to a subordinate coworker would you by all means try to avoid being placed on same engagement team to avoid obvious or put more effort and request that they be put on your team?

Has anyone successfully pursued a relationship with someone they met at work? An MD I am really attracted to has been chasing me, but I am nervous about what the repercussions could be if it doesn't work out. Still, it's tempting

On a scale from 1-10, how transparent are your colleagues with one another?

I get super nervous every time I talk to my SM and MD on the project. Normal?

How do you handle rude clinicians in the workplace? I always have an attending talking down to me.

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

Starting a new fully remote role Monday with a leader that has never had their own admin, let alone an exec assistant. Any suggestions for developing the relationship or training them to properly use an exec assistant?

Partners, what are signs/examples that a project’s leadership is prioritizing the clients needs over the team beyond the normal ‘nature of client service’? Is a convo is worth it?

If you don’t have a CD above you and you are doing the work, do you just send it off or do you ask other creatives for their take? Seems weird to just do work and present it without a gut check from somewhere.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?

Does your firm form leadership group trainings? We usually do every summer but we are starting one these last 2 months. We usually read books or watch something and then discuss. If you do them, do you think they are effective?

My team oversees internal comms and we’re in the process of signing on BananaTag.

Any fishies out there that can share what level of reporting + KPIs you’re providing leadership?

We plan to use it for exec comms and department-level leadership (HR, IT, etc.).

We’ve historically done mass communication through Outlook, so this will be our first time getting insight into staff e-mail + Teams performance.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

How long does it take for the comp details / offer letter to come through after HC approval? It’s been two weeks and my recruiter is saying she’s waiting for “additional approvals”. Anything to be concerned about?

How do you apply design factors to IT Audits. Just overheard someone explain 'level of aggregation' for IT Security policies by describing how many people have access to it. Why is this a thing???

I’m working with a manager who likes to prioritize his ideas over strategic research, I want to be helpful because it’s very distressing to watch ideas being presented without the appropriate research, any advice?

After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

If you could change anything to increase minority representation in marketing, what would you change? I think I'd want at least 2-3 minority employees in creative leadership positions to make sure things like colorism in ads less likely to pass the final edit.

First time working with a celebrity for one of our campaigns. Anyone have any tips or advice? A little nervous here 😅

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

We’re hiring on our media & connections team. Various levels. If you’re looking to make a jump from a traditional media agency or a strategist who wants to get closer to both media and creative. Lmk.

How correct is the term “African American"?
What about black people from Haiti, Caribbean, etc.

Is it about where people are indigenous to?

Not all Black Americans are African American,
right?

The more I work in advertising, the more apparent that majority of companies (and my own colleagues) don’t know how to reach consumers like me. It’s absolutely tragic. (Cont’d)

Being a male and Asian really sucks.

The marketing for Black Adam is genius! I wish I was in entertainment. If you could choose one industry to do marketing for what would it be? For me it's easily film or games.
