I just realized (remembered?) I have am entitled to a pension when I reach retirement age from Ogilvy dating back to when such things existed in our society. Somehow this fell off my radar. I haven’t worked there for > 15 years.

Fun! Old school. This will be great when social security goes bankrupt. 😏

Maybe all of us with these little Ogilvy “pensions” should have a pensioners club where we pool our Ogilvy pension dollars and go to dinner somewhere fancy-pants once a month when we’re 80 and tell tall tales of life on the red carpet.

So before you remembered, you were banking on social security to keep you afloat when you retire? Sounds like you’re a moron when it comes to handling your finances 😏

They stopped contributing to it while I was there. They haven’t forced me to take my money out but it’s just sitting there now. Less a pension than a little bonus IRA. Not that I’m complaining!

I rolled mine into an IRA for exactly this reason. I’m pretty sure when I’m 65 I won’t be thinking about that old Ogilvy money from 35 years ago and God knows Ogilvy won’t be tracking me down to claim it. This way I know where it is and it’s not going anywhere.

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro.

Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?

So… two months ago I started a gig as a CD. Good agency. Very talented people. Pretty quickly I realized that my new job is kinda about keeping up with incoming emails/teams messages. I can’t handle it. For the last month I have been sleeping in, getting out of bed after 11am, like I prefer. Those notifications start coming at around 8am and all I do is press those suggested replies on teams, not even half awake, pretty much still dreaming, and it works. I’m getting lots of good feedback.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
