I am a level 3 counselling student. Please note that means their are limitations to my work, there is a supervisor to support me. I was wondering if anyone would like to meet via zoom for a 4-6 week session of 30 minute helping sessions? It's free, and it is confidential.
I am a woman, 30, and obviously in advertising.

Hey Fishes,

Need likes & emojis
Can I get some
N here's some humour
What's the logic behind likes & reactions after 12 emojis and then we getto send a DM?
Boss: just do what is informed to be done, Don try to be over smart
Employee : I think this is the smartest way to jus DM Directly instead of getting likes & other reactions. Do you think that's really imp.?
Boss : in his mind this guy is too much chaalo...
Let me shift him to other team or.let me see if.i.can kick him out..
Lol!!

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

What do you think when associates/senior associates misspeak on a concept during a meeting or interview?

I’ve learned something new on each project, and I’m afraid of coming off as an idiot so I rarely contribute to conversations; only after I have done research on the topic and have prepared do I speak/give ideas

Have a really good relationship with current company, but got an amazing offer and very likely gonna leave (signed the offer, waiting for all the background checks to come back). How do you tell your boss you are leaving the company (if boss is not a dick lol) and not ruin relationship?

I’m dealing with a difficult management situation and don’t know what to do, how would you report someone when nobody really cares what’s going on or is automatically going to side with the other person?

It’s 2020. Is a small dainty nose ring still perceived as unprofessional in the workplace? I work in the finance industry.

This might seem silly, but does anyone have a script for giving notice? Lol. Or at least good points to hit on? Particularly partners— what has/has not gone over well? Main concern here is to not burn any bridges.

AIR is hosting our next Straight Talk panel discussions on Monday 3/15 on zoom.

Topic: Producers & Reps: Pain Points & Pleasure Points … where we dive into what works, what doesn’t, what makes the best rep & producer relationship and how can we be better partners for/ with one another.

Seeking freelance or staff producers interested in being a panelist. Kindly DM. Thank you!

What’s your favorite WFH footwear? Any recommended brands for a chilly home office?

PEOPLE DO MAKE MISTAKES!! but My manager reacts very rudely everytime with me, And all seniors who are with him around 10+ years will assign tickets to me and they monitor me continuously.

I never had any conflicts with anyone, but i felt that they all connered me. I had a call with my director and senior director and explained about this on my last day

i never met my teammates in office since i joined and resigned in covid.
Did this happen coz i dint have much rappo with my them?

Any recommendations for a good female Halloween costumes for a client party this week?

Which burns bridges less with an organization you’re in interested in, but for which the timing isn’t great? (Con’t)

Hi Fishes, I am ready to resign from my current organisation and I was wondering if I need to discuss this with my reporting manager first. I have never talked to my reporting manager , do I need to discuss with him before I resign or I should just do it in the portal directly.

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Going through personally traumatic phase where the partner has some personal axe to grind. Client, others are happy but the partner is just out to humiliate me.

Poll: What dress code do you follow at your home office?

What are some creative ways that I can reward my team? They've been working really hard lately and I want to show my appreciation

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.

I received my PR and want to start looking for jobs in Canada. Don’t want to transition to current company’s Canadian office as I have burnt bridges here. US Mid tier MBA + 2 years in Consulting contd

Any workers comp attorneys? Thinking of transitioning. What’s the job like?

Do you ever regret your career choice? I’m beginning to realize I may not have wanted to be a mechanical engineer after all. What other career options are there for me with my current degree?

Hi Fishes I am looking for Scrum Master job

Can we leave CG a month after joining?

Deloitte Cloud practice vs. Accenture Cloud practice. Which one is better?

Any folks at MMB/T2 in St. Louis open to connect? Are there many local projects or do you travel most of the time?

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager. They like “home grown” talent and I “be worked hard and risen relatively quickly (AGC in 9 years). I work hard and get a lot of complicated deals done (structured products and private funds). I can’t shake certain people (in compliance department mainly) thinking I don’t have enough experience to do what I do because I didn’t come from a law firm. Any advice?

Hey fellow fishes- I am looking to make some new friends in town and potentially meet a nice woman to start a relationship with; any ideas where should I start looking or start doing? I am thinking of volunteering some of my weekends.

For anyone that left consulting to work in product management. How is it? How is the work? Wlb - people - culture .. etc

So I'm winding down a three-month LOA for my mental health and burnout. It took a month to feel semi-normal; new meds, new routines, and therapy. Now that I'm closing in on my return date, I feel as though I've made no progress at all. The feeling of dread in dealing with the job is starting to overwhelm me again, and I feel hopeless. I have discussed the mid-career crisis aspect and think I'm still there, I just do not care about the job anymore.

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

When ppl talk abt mental health in adv, we neglect the topic of cognitive dissonance. Most of us work on clients that are terrible in some way - sweatshops, bad for enviro, unhealthy. How do u cope?

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

New to town. What’s Saatchi & Saatchi’s reputation? Creatively, culture-wise, etc.

I just turned the heating on. Wtaf. 🥶

Go on then. Guesses how long until Uncommon sell?

National insurance

how’s everyone feeling about this?

Quite miffed as I just got a small pay rise and now I think this plus the upcoming not rises in utilities and inflation will pretty much cancel it out.

This country is fucked lol

Looks like many agencies are starting to return to the office. For those who have gone back, has it been a mandatory return? And how are you feeling about it?

Fishbowl get together? Thoughts?

Any ideas on freelance rates in London? Strategy Director level.

Why are some entries on the creative circle shortlist in red? Have they accidentally leaked the gold award winners?

Anyone have senior leadership bragging to the trade press this week about how great their agency is at handling staff’s mental health when in fact they’re personally responsible for leaving disaster in their wake?

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

Anyone know of a sort of speeddating site for London creatives looking for a partner? Kinda sick of seeing most job alerts going up as "looking for creative team".

So, how was your Monday?

How much do CSOs in big ad agencies make?

How we all dealing with Rona times??? Hope you all ok 👍

How’s TBWA London these days? Decent work + place to work?

Are there any recruiters in this bowl? What would inspire you to post openings?

I’m new to the country. This is a bit out there but where do you get an abortion? Do you need a referral through your GP? After that is there a long wait?

What’s BMB like to work at?

Looking for an accountant to help with self assessment as well as consultation on billing etc. Any tips is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What’s it like relocating to the US? No idea where to start
