Having that moron posting LinkedIn skits while undergoing two rounds of layoffs is the most tone-deaf thing I’ve seen in a while. (Sorry, I know this doesn’t help but needed to say it)

Mo (aka wannabe Gary V) and all his white leadership bros drove Mojo into the ground. So many good people left AND then we lost our biggest client, Meta, due to taking TikTok and Pinterest. Since then we’ve had TWO rounds of LAYOFFS (all of them women except a few male POC!!!! Despite Mojo’s “diversity” claims). The place is a joke, but leadership is so far up Mo’s a$$ they probably don’t see it. And don’t get me started on that cringe AF industry influencer becoming the face of Mojo social.

Interesting but not surprising. Sadly most of the POCs I’ve seen get to top level roles are often the harshest on their POC colleagues.

If you can afford it just FMLA while job searching

A lot of hate for hiring a creator-in-residence to fill the agency’s social channels but at least they’re trying something vs every other agency’s silence + award nominations. For that reason for walking the talk of marketing I give them a pass on anything a bit cringe.

You gotta be Mo, there’s no way any other human being with more than an inch of cerebral matter could’ve written this.

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?
