Hard without specific scenarios but here's some general advice - when you send them your work, copy your boss on the email. "Hi, John - here's the document I made / research I found / conversation I had or agreement I made with the creative team / timeline I adjusted for you / blah blah. Let me know if you have any questions."

If it’s in a meeting I would jump in after he does it and say “I’m so glad you liked the idea I was sharing with you earlier” or if it’s tangible output “I’m glad to hear you think so highly of my work. I put a lot of thought into...” and call out something specific

That sucks and sorry that’s happening to you, most annoying thing ever. That being said, people usually have a way of figuring out who really did the work... especially when it comes to answering questions. Always jump in and provide context/background. Shows you know your info, did the work, and don’t have to throw anyone under the bus.

I am fairly new to LGL (10 months in). I had been practicing criminal law before. I really like LGL because I get to work on something new every day and most of the questions posed to me require creative thinking/solutions. But I do find myself feeling discouraged many days bc there is just so much I don’t know. I understand things will get better and may come easier to me with time and experience. How long did it take for you to feel comfortable and feel like you have a handle on most issues?

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
