Other agencies have no clue about Droga5's culture.

Outside perception is that it's filled with talented people who are regularly used and abused. Haven't heard good things about working there, despite the fact they seem to put out some of the best stuff.

I meant what do other agencies think of the agency in general. Finding it very political

like

I didn't find d5 more political than other NYC agencies. The stakes are a little higher bc it feels like everyone in the industry is watching you. I worked harder than I ever have in my life, but I liked it - it felt like everyone was in it to win it and there was great camaraderie. It was A LOT smaller when I was there though.

In reality is there any workplace - agency or otherwise - that doesn't require political maneuvering? Otherwise known as EQ and RQ...and in some cases schmoozing or kissing a$$

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

How do i find out if I will be happier divorced or more unhappily staying married. 2 kids; 2 & 4 YO. They don’t hear the arguments after bed time and don’t understand the bruises yet but I know it’s just a matter of time. It would be so much harder not seeing my kids everyday than living with the pain, loneliness and lost friendships. But I’m tired. And so sad. Lost. So alone. Does anyone have something that turned it around? He changed? You changed so he did? Ayahuasca retreat maybe?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
