I feel like my creative team is secretly criticizing me for asking them to build decks (their job) and make executive and client revisions (also their job). It’s making me feel like a bad producer, but I’m also wondering why aren’t they in a more cooperative or positive mood when we meet to talk about work?
This is the only project we are all on and I don’t understand why they make me feel like I’m asking for too much.

Sounds like they’re young (and lazy). Or judging from your “meet to talk” phrase, they could be pissed that they’re being forced to work from the office?

Interesting. I believe that. I’m in my early 30s and I imagine these creatives are too but they each have children and I don’t.

Get them started with a template and tell them it’s just a template and boost their egos while talking about how their design talent needs to be applied to it and their ideas need to really shine through in it and end with giving them a deadline. Then hang up and call them a bunch of divas. Make sure you’ve hung up first. Happens all the time. Love when it doesn’t though.

This is very helpful thank you. Yes we have a template for decks and I do proofread them at the end.

Do you have evidence that this is happening? What kinds of decks specifically?

I have 11 years experience. I have been every role of production from when I started out shooting and editing, to making my way to mid level producer managing shooters and editors, then client and creative management snr producer at a FAANG company, and now playing all hats at a small indie shop working on a project for a FAANG company.

Hi All,
Need your suggestions
Currently two offers in hand brillio and citiustech
The role i get at citiustech is perfectly matching for my career path and at brillio i am not completely sure about project details
Citiustech is giving me 1Lakh more than brillio
But the issue is citiustech is having a retention pay concept which sounds like 2 year bond which seems not good
Here can I negotiate with Brillio for better offer again and role? Only few days left in my np now
