Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status. I've worked in other companies where we would do line item milestones with their own individual RAG (determined by probability+ impact) that would roll up into an overall project RAG status. But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

Has anyone ever taken a break from advertising? What job did you do (in-house, something completely different)? Did you find it difficult to come back?

I’m really burned out and need a break.

I started a new account job at an agency. I’ve been here for about 2 months & I hate it. To put it simply, its an absolute mess. Does it look bad to other agencies if I jump ship after only 2 months?

Went for an interview to meet the whole team at a possible new job. Met with five different people, but have not heard back in 3 days. Are they collecting the feedback...or am I being ghosted?

I’m really interested in Account Planning, which my company doesn’t have. What do I need to know to break into that role? Is it typically a (semi) stable position?

I’ve been asked to pitch in on a gift for a supervisor who’s leaving. No price point was recommended because the people invited range from juniors to EVPs. I’m at an associate level, only been at the company for 6 months, BUT this person did have a hand in getting my resume seen. Any idea what I should pitch in?

I’ve asked about my so called promotion and I just keep getting more into the future dates. Also company is trying to make their # so cutting down on costs. At this point I gave up on asking...is it

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Recently quit, the company I’m leaving has mandated work from office days. If you were me would you still go in during your final two weeks?

I just accepted a VP role in-house and am about to have four direct reports and a team of 10 people working under me. Some of these people are way more experienced than I am, and I’m feeling very imposter syndrome-y. Any books or podcasts or recommendations that might make me feel more prepared?
