What do we think of mekanism ny?
I have a question, fellow bowlaz! I work in a small advertising agency in Oslo, Norway, and we struggle to get in contact with international ad media such as Adweek (Ad Freak) and Ad Age whenever we want to show off our creative work. Does anyone of you have a way in, or tips on how we can get in contact with media outlets like these? Cheers

To move up and grow within the company. He didn’t enjoy that response and kept bugging me to say something negative. Turns out he had tried applying there and they never even reached back out, not sure if that’s why he wants to here bad things about them but I feel extremely uncomfortable and don’t enjoy talking badly about my old team. I’m pretty junior but I never thought I’d be in a situation like this and it’s concerning because it make me see red flags already.
Competition is strong between agencies and often people will joke around by talking badly about other agencies. Most of the time it is tongue in cheek but rivalries do exist and some people take it way too seriously. I would recommend to continue looking as your past experience could even be undervalued by this person that could be your boss.
You did the right thing tho by focusing on the people and not the organization.
Thanks! Yeah I’m definitely uncomfortable hopefully it doesn’t continue.
I love shit talking my old agencies, mostly for sport. It’s like a failed relationship, no one wants to go around talking up their ex. Not sure why he’s so persistent, but also not sure why it’s extremely uncomfortable
It was because he was so persistent and wouldn’t let it go. I also find that kind of behavior from a grown man a bit childish. It’s one thing to give concrete reasons why you ended up leaving a place, it’s another to talk shit. Don’t get me wrong I would vent to my husband or my friends but I never expected to do that to my new boss. I also really care about the people I used to work with/for and wouldn’t want them to talk shit about me the moment I left so why would I do that to them?
