I was furloughed yet it doesn’t start until Friday. Per the VPs, this week we have to “transfer our knowledge” to our bosses. Bosses who haven’t been on these projects. Any advice?

Be kind. Who what when where why- simple short bullet facts per project. And with this kind actionable info and knowledge transfer you’ll be their first call when this is over. Very sorry to hear you’ve been furloughed and hope it’s over soon.

Do your best to prepare your projects to be in their best shape when you come back to them. That’s the professional thing to do. Your bosses will take note.

As a boss who is losing a majority of their team, know that it hurts on the other side too. In different ways, sure. But losing people you care about to something out of your control really just fucking sucks. Especially when you’ve worked so hard to build a team.

My advice is to just do your best to just be kind to the people around you during this time. Go the extra mile. Do the extra work. Be the best version of yourself.

Do your part. Keep a paper trail showing you did your part. Leave out key knowledge you have that wouldn't be known by anyone else, the shit literally only in your head, so it breaks without you. Your 'golden touch' will be leverage later, but don't admit you left stuff out.

This is very bad advice

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old.

The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
