I was fired from an account Director role where I was for seven years. Said agency now has an opening for a freelance copywriter. While I know the content and wrote a lot of it myself without the subject matter experts, I was very hurt from the firing. I had a couple clients who fired me so yah, maybe I was not good from an account perspective. But I think I was a good writer. I am thinking of approaching them about the job. Should I? Or am I just opening myself up for more rejection?

Anyone from Havas London here? If so, what are your biggest dislikes about the agency?

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

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.
