I wish someone in the media would read this bowl. I’m just outraged that we are asking how to demote ourselves, shave 15 years off our resumes, or switch to pharma. Meanwhile, I am deeply thankful....

Insane. I will admit my age, proudly, until I’m literally, physically dragged out of the industry by two burly AI copywriters. Why? Because i still have the chops, experience and work ethic to run circles around most “young’uns”...stubborn? Maybe. But I’m not going peacefully...😁

I have. And I still 100% believe in the above.

The elephant in many of these rooms is that many people in the industry with this much experience are white men. You’re not going to find very many champions out there in journalism when there are more built-in audiences for stories about bias against women, minorities, and other intersectional identities .

Pretty sure people in the media have read it and don’t care...probably because most people on the media side who would care got laid off 7 years ago for being old and commanding too high of a salary.

I’ve seen a number of articles about it lately. Google “ageism in advertising." Also it is not a new problem- just seems to be getting worse.

The messed up thing about ageism is that it’s literally illegal. Yet nothing has been done about it.

Not sure were being asked to switch to pharma. Pharma is where the ad money is going nowadays. Look at all the pharma agencies that didn’t exist 20 years ago. Every major agency is adding pharma biz. And if you walk around a pharma agency, you’ll meet tons of young people that never had a general job. They started in pharma.

...for advice on all of the above

Send the scoop to and pull quotes for someone in the media who has covered this topic. It’s a great idea

It needs to be addressed. I mean we are the only industry where the ageism stats as young as 40. Right? Besides athletics?

And entertainment

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?

Looking for new potential work. I’m not desperate. I have an interview on Friday, if they hire me and I take it, I’m leaving a toxic work environment, very poor management and nosy coworkers for another Union job but I feel better RBI’s new job will have better work relations, room for growth and better management. However, I’ll be leaving 7 years and great work perks. How do I have potential new job to pay me my rate of pay and possibly give me some of my previous work perks.

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.
