I want to quit without a job lined up. My agency is a dumpster fire of incompetent project managers, revolving door of creatives and culture of not holding people accountable amidst a micromanaging gossipy leadership. I just want out. Tell me it is ok and will be alright.

Just coast through it while you look for where you belong. None of it matters to you because you’re going to leave anyway, so why do you care if it’s on fire? Enjoy the warmth.

Turn your effort dial to ‘acceptable’ and find a new gig whilst collecting the salary. Don’t put yourself in a place where you have to take a job in order to pay bills, you’ll end up in the same place

This is smart perspective. Without a job, it may be harder to get a new one, so you end up increasing your chances of having to take one you don’t like - which is where you are now.

I'd hate to have you as my VP. You're one of the few people who can change all that. Instead you want to run. Maybe you should leave and do them a favor. It seems you're part of the problem if you're not willing to be part of the solution.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
