Hello! I’m curious what changes or experiments are happening at agencies in light of the great resignation. I personally have had 4 people on my team of 8 leave, and it’s really hard to keep moving forward in this new remote life when you don’t have a strong team around you. Is anyone doing anything interesting to try and improve work/life balance, benefits/comp, communications or team building in this new hybrid space?

Doing the same as they always do when people leave: make the people who remain do more work, drag heel on staffing back up, don’t reflect on why people left or attempt to prevent further resignations.

It’s foolproof, I tell ya.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
