I spend so much more time working than my CW and I know we make the same amount annually.
No disrespect to CWs, just bitter cause it's midnight and I'm working alone, designing shit.

I’m working alone tonight doing all these idea write ups. I think copywriters do more in the early stages and Art Directors do a lot more toward the end. The key is supporting each other and appreciating each other throughout

ADs do usually work more. That’s just how it is. Take banners for example...once all the lines are approved, the poor AD has to resize the hell out of everything.

Depends on a lot of factors but I tend to think it evens out. Industry and medium make a difference, too.

If you’re doing heavy digital or print, it might be more art focused. TV, radio, brand messaging... more copy focused. Healthcare, is HEAVY copy, especially on HCP.

As you rise through the ranks, the workload evens or changes as it becomes more about managing a team and less making things.

The best partners can appreciate and help augment their other half’s workload.

That’s lousy of them. If I’ve finished up with my words. I always ask how I can help. And boy have I gotten good at looking for swipe

Thanksgiving is upon us. Send help.

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful. They parent their youngest kid with pills and ignoring him, so that he does inappropriate things around me with zero correction (walking in on me, insulting me). They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.

Food was good though.

I feel at a loss at my company's direction for the next few years and it's making me so stressed about my future. I wish leadership was more clear + I had more of a voice but I feel like a tiny cog in a machine that's warp speeding towards a giant ? mark in an industry in constant turmoil.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
