Hi fish! Need your perspective 🙏. I’ve been at the same position for 5 years or so @ my current agency (been there longer). I’ve had periodic video conf calls with my CCO and he’s always kicked the can down the road. It’s either budgets, COVID or not the right opp. It sucks. I am underpaid, misused and there have been many micro aggressions from all levels. Oh and yeah, I’m an immigrant working in advertising. The thing is, I’ve had enough. Contd in comments:

Speaking as a POC. Never speak ill or poorly of leadership. It will backfire. It sounds like you are near the beginning of your career.

Unfortunately, you have to keep moving upward and onward elsewhere. HR and CDO are actually there to protect the company. Not the employees.

Got to grin and bear it. I’ve spoken out and it’s met with shrugs. People want to protect their paychecks.

Unless it’s full on racism, sexism, or harassment. It’s not meaningful to them. Basically I’ve always learned be “nice” to the people on your way up. Because you’ll see them on your way down.

Until you are put into a place of power it falls on deaf ears. Unless you’re into the scorched earth mentality.

Yeah. I agree. The green card road is long and I’m
Fighting the fight. Thanks for your perspective tho

Original post Cont’d: To be noted I’m on an o-1 visa which is cool as it’s reserved for very few creatives. I’ve reached the end of the road. I’d love to move on but haven’t had any luck for some reason and I fantasize about engaging our HR/CDO (diversity) but that might backfire. I also have been dreaming of what I might say in my exit interview. I’m not one to blow up people personally but I’ll definitely lay out my experience candidly. I’m also one of the very few immigrants in the agency if not the only one. The place knows very little about actual culture. So I want to ask you all, What are my options? What can I and how do I proceed? Has anyone gone through this themselves? And more importantly is any looking for a senior level designer? Just looking for dignity and respect (and fair compensation)

And for those of you who have read this far, thank you so much!

Hello,

I was thinking about asking if I should read up on anything before starting, but I also don’t want to impose obligations on myself if I don’t have to. Fwiw going from firm to in-house. TIA!
