^75% of my success has been because I love advertising more than the next person and am therefore incredibly happy optimistic and jazzed all the time. Makes some people hate me. But also gets you paid.

SVPCd1 - maybe as an SVPcd you should consider why your creatives are burned out.

@CS1 I don’t know you so I’m not implying anything. I was giving a possible reason for your observation. People that have low job satisfaction don’t tend to stick around, and if they do it will be unlikely they are pushing out quality work, meeting deadlines, pitching in to help team members, engaging with senior management etc etc, you know, things that actually get you promoted. There are exceptions I’m sure.

@SAD1 as far as I know my creatives aren’t burned out. It means it’s doing my job as a manager. And to my above point, it isn’t your boss’s job to make sure you’re fulfilled and happy all of the time. I care deeply about my team and their mental health but I’m not a psychologist or their friend; I’m their boss. A lot of the onus of how someone is feeling falls on their shoulders.

You’re probably going to read that as I’m being cold and callous, but I assure you I’m the opposite of that.

As an elder millennial with kids I am finding it really tough to reconcile society right now. The future for my kids seems bleak. I am extremely resentful of the obnoxious petulance of the boomers but also equally frustrated with the privileged woke attitudes of a lazy GenZ. I am personally very successful and been trying to engage in doing at least some good (non profit boards and local government) and am utterly amazed how incompetent people are. My generation has to step up and get control.

Sound like something you’ve heard of already? Good? Boring? Tell me all of your opinions.
