I don’t feel like I fit at my company anymore. I’m a relatively new higher and unfortunately after layoffs, people leaving and just working with the people here, I feel like this wasn’t what I signed up for. I feel completely disillusioned as to what I thought this agency was/mindset it cultivated and it’s the opposite. It’s honestly just a bunch of people stuck doing the same shit. There’s just a lack of progressiveness about the creative process. Do I stick it out? Should I jump ship?

What agency? Or well…if you can’t expose that can you let us know what holding company it’s under?

Is this your first job?

2nd year assoc. here. Finding myself spending 3-5 hours researching/analyzing issues that should only take 1-3 hours. I find myself questioning - for every assignment - is this the issue I was asked to look into? Did I read that case right? Does this analysis make sense? And I end up reading the same cases over and over. Does anyone have advice for being more confident/efficient on tasks, especially research?

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like?

So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve
