Heh, an agency in New Zealand that I respect and has great people has made a senior hire of someone that I know ran their account into the ground financially and never actually aided in any good work themselves. It’s such a strange feeling to know that it’s someone else’s problem now.

Wow, i wonder how relaxed their hiring process was

Fr! I'm constantly surprised how some extremely toxic people rise up to leadership positions - but hey, it's business, right? 🙄

Additional Posts in Advertising

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
