Verizon has always been the toughest of the telcos. Fairly straightforward work. Not a whole lot of innovation. The brand needs a CMO willing to break the cycle.

Maybe it’s gotten better with the turnover at Verizon but it was a very tough account when we had it. That being said everything happens at warp speed to it’s great for your growth.

I was on the media side - some of the most overly confident managerial midwits work at Verizon. Any initiative taken and you’ll be taken down for standing out.

The new CMO ruined Peloton before failing up to Verizon. It’s not going to get better.

My primary client is AT&T and I always wonder which is worse 🙃

Run.

Let's put it this way. Once worked at R/GA and when exec leadership came onto the floor to tell the team we'd lost Verizon there was actual spontaneous applause.

It’s better than it was this time last year. But that’s a very low bar to clear.

Lmao, telcos are horrible clients literally everywhere in the world, I see. But what budgets they have, omg.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.

I am feeling hopeless. I’m a tax senior been through 4 busy seasons with Deloitte. The tax I’m in is pretty niche and I kinda wanna leave tax all together since I wanna start a family and personally can’t do it with another busy season. I don’t know who is willing to hire me because I feel pigeonholed. I’m just hating every moment with this firm right now. Any advice on what positions/companies might be best to look into?

Thanks everyone.
