Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

I’m 29 and only now realized I shouldn’t go on dates if I’m still bitter about an ex

I was at a friend’s. Her and her neighbors are all moms and get together for dinner while the kids play. A father showed up to drop off kid while the mom was busy elsewhere, instead of going about his plans he stayed with us. I felt so much sexual tension with him there its so weird. I was attracted to something about him and i know i had his attention. I could barely look him in the eyes when he would make conversation. I wanted to… you know what. SO WEIRD. Hes not even a 10! Im so confused.

I was on a tour but where I asked a couple of older women sitting behind me to speak softly as it was 6:30 am in the morning. After that they kept saying loudly that i’m smelling and that i need to use deo and that i should keep my arm down. I confronted them later and they said respect your elders?? I want to ruin their vacation. What else can I do?

How much time do you spend actually playing with your dogs every day?

I’m dealing with a difficult management situation and don’t know what to do, how would you report someone when nobody really cares what’s going on or is automatically going to side with the other person?

Any advice on which platforms are best for learning data science/ML? I'm looking for a platform through which both I can develop my intermediate ML skills and my less experienced teammates can learn data analytics from the ground up. Particularly interested in any thoughts on Codeacademy and Dataquest.

Hello! Is anyone looking for a TA Coordinator? I have over 10 years of administrative and talent acquisition experience, including recruiting on both sides, agency and corporate. My true passion is administrative and operational support. Located in NY, open to remote or hybrid. Thank you!

Idk who needs to hear this, but…

Just because someone disagrees with your perspective, it does not automatically mean they’re gaslighting you.

Did anyone complete NNN?

Can we leave CG a month after joining?

Hey strategists, what’s something you would love an intern to provide you with or something they have done that made your life a little easier? (Cont.)

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

What was your most amazing day in advertising?

Is anyone else having trouble just BEING back at the office… for a full day? Even if it’s hybrid. It’s like driving me insane just sitting here in silence and making small talk from 9-5:30. I feel so trapped.

Moms ❤ : anyone with super supportive mothers who've helped pave the way for you? Please share with other 🐠s your most inspired stories.

Anybody have success requesting to go from 100% on one account to 50/50 or at least floating around a bit more? Any tips welcome 🙏

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.

Did anyone else 'fishbowl' cars in high school?

Year in search was a little off the mark, no?

@strategists: Any tips for someone looking to go into strategy? I don't even know where to start, are there some must-have courses or knowledge I could start with?

Just found out there is a dude with literally zero experience in the industry making more money than me, and I've been asked by the C-Suite to "mentor and train" him. What? No you motherfuckers.

Omar from the wire in that W + K spot for the Atlantic. Well done 👏🏽

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

How do some of y’all manage to go 2+ years without a raise? Like are you just really good at budgeting?

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

To the Copywriter who thought no big deal about ads on Breitbart 🙄. Here's a sampling of two recent titles from their site: “There’s No Hiring Bias Against Women In Tech, They Just Suck At Interviews

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?
