I think if you're in this industry you have to be content with this happening. The best campaigns are team efforts, where tons of hands take part in polishing the concept. I don't think any one person can really own it.

Depends what we're talking about. They were a part of it along with you or they didn't work on it at all?

I quietly told my boss that it hurt my feelings to kick ass and watch someone else take all the credit and he promised to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

Why I love being in industry:

I presented a deck and I misspelled "EBITDA" in the exec summary while presenting to the exec team.

No one noticed. No one called me out. No one gave me a nasty glance. No one sent a "pls call my mobile" text after.

No email with some stuff about "not meeting expectations" or "how could you let this happen in your role".

After the wave of panic, I remembered that I'm in industry now. I make more money, work less hours, work with great people, I'm happy.

In my office we have a very small number of black people. I don’t know the exact numbers but it doesn’t seem like more than 10. All of them I know >3 are on a personal improvement plan for very basic reasons. One faced blatant racism and was placed off the project. Therefore it was harder for this person to find a new project. How to investigate if this is correlates with microagressions and discrimination towards black people? Any ideas? How to convince non POC that this is a problem?

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.

For those that have left their firms, do you guys recommend taking precedent docs from the firm before you leave? I hear about that but don’t know how that works since the laptop doesn’t accept usb and I would imagine it would look suspicious having emails with docs to your personal email all of a sudden … or is this endeavor not even worth it?

Hello everyone!! After being at my crappy job for two years, I’ve finally accepted an offer to work as an EA for a university - so excited!!!! At my current job, I have to support 11 people (wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy). In my new role I’ll be supporting 1 person, so I’m excited to give 100% of myself to her. What are some questions I should ask my executive on my first day? Questions pertaining to calendaring come to mind. Any other advice would be helpful! Thanks so much!

How does everyone use their executive admin? I was assigned one when I became GC, but I’m definitely underutilizing her. I prefer to schedule my own meetings and it’s not like I have travel to book, or expenses to submit during quarantine. She’s not capable of higher level legal tasks like my law firm secretary was.
