If I had a dime for every time I said something, only to receive blank stares, then had a male coworker “magically” repeat it soon after and have everyone be onboard. Like, am I a 👻?? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Do partners sometimes say nice things about your work just to encourage you and less so because the work merits the compliment? Or is my impostor syndrome really messing with my head?

Anybody have strategies for combating narcissistic bully principals when the teacher is already mentally broken and completely vulnerable to their tactics?

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

How does one go about resignation in the remote setting?

Should i email my boss then follow up with a call? Or the other way around?

The "confrontation" is really difficult for me lol. I actually like my current boss and she's been helpful and made me feel like she looks out for me too. But the new opportunity is too good to pass up on (huge increase to pay. No concerns on the team since ive worked with those people in the past in a different company)

Does having an excellent advertising pedigree give you the right to treat people badly? Any advice on dealing with extremely rude and extremely smart strategy humans ...

When emailing someone for an interview for the first time do you address them by Mr/Mrs last name or by their first name?

What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

I walk a total ~20 mins in between train/bus stations and then getting from the stop in the loop to the office.

What do I do come wintertime for boots? Do you wear them while you're in the office? Or do you bring dress shoes with you to change in to? I wear a suit to work, so what boots would be good for winter but also look decent with a suit? This is my first winter in Chicago (a socal transplant)

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

What does everyone wear for client meetings in a WFH setting

What are effective ways to ensure your team feels content within the workplace? There is a rise of many people feeling undervalued and not cared for as an employee. I would like to change that. No matter the job, no one should feel less than.

Just got staffed on a project in London. Any major differences from American business fashion I should be aware of?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

Partners- can you please help me understand the following scenario.

This partner always say hi to me and smiles at me. Recently, he avoids me and doesn’t say hi to me. His favorite manager, doesn’t

This executive I support has given me an e-gift card for the 3rd time in the past 5 months. Each gift card is $300.

I had already told him monetary awards were not necessary as the "thank-you" and words of appreciation were enough for me.

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable

Have a client w over a million in IRAs and NQ account. Invested in a combo of ETFs and dividend paying stocks. Now bitching abt performance. Should I stick to my strategy or offer alt to placate him?

F this, I need some normalcy back in my life.

I'm going to wear a suit while I'm WFH.

I have a terrible voice that fluctuates between sounding confident to flat toned and then using fillers while I’m thinking, i.e., uh um. Does anyone have tips to improve my communication skills so I sound more polished? Things that have worked for you? I feel I’ve performed poorly in interviews because I hem and haw too much. So annoyed with myself.

How do you handle rude clinicians in the workplace? I always have an attending talking down to me.

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

I’m considering management consulting. I’d like to know what salary range I should aim for at Deloitte, PWC, etc at their NY offices. I appreciate any insight you can give me.

Looking to fully refresh my ski equipment (skis/bindings, boots, etc). Midwest places are starting to close up (wtf I know!). Anyone have recommendations on solid ski shops? Prefer Denver/Colorado Springs Metros but open to all.

Just about finished completing my sustainability science masters (physics undergrad) and have my PMP cert. (water and chemistry projects, carbon capture and energy storage r&d - plenty of side projects but not my main job responsibility or title). I’m trying to pívot to a tech or consulting sus. position and trying to find how to properly brand myself to show the value I can bring. Can use advice!

Any recommendation for affordable and sustainable washer and dryer?

I just accepted an offer for a smaller niche shop in a smaller city and I'm so pumped about it. Hardly a confession, but I don't really have that many people I can share my excitement w/ before I quit

got excited about dental work today because it meant I got to spend an hour away from work during the day. is that super depressing?

I cannot stress this enough. 12 o’clock meetings mean you bring me a damn sandwich. The better the sandwich, the better the work

If you call yourself a unicorn while I’m interviewing you then from that point forward the interview is over.

This open office plan sucks. Besides the constant din, we've got 3 agencies crammed on to one floor, sharing conference rooms and huddle rooms. Agency identity is lost and it feels like an ad factory

I'm thinking about cutting off my beard.

I think all the directors working on my account are just plain dumb and over controlling. But I have nowhere to go, so i'll stick around for a bit.

I wake up every night holding my breath lmao. Idk if that’s classic sleep apnea or if my body is subliminally trying to off itself while I’m not paying attention.

I get crippling anxiety everytime I think about moving to NYC. I've never felt anything like it before.

Who’s still at work? 👋

How is Will Smith in both Suicide Squad (DC Comics) and Avengers (Marvel)? Were there zero other candidates for the role? Posting this as it will oddly keep me up tonight. Confessing I'm confused.

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

Honestly how long have you been seeking a new job and to what extent are you searching... someone give me some hope

If everything is “asap”, nothing is “asap”

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Pretty sure everyone knows I’m stoned rn

Anyone else feel being a creative director is just not all it was cracked up to be?

I’m exhausted with having to educate colleagues on what we do. I know we’re specialists as producers, but we work in the same industry, people. There has to be a modicum of knowledge and understanding with the agency process from top to bottom. And if you don’t have the experience, PLEASE don’t tell me how something should be done.

The turkeys nest is where you find inspiration

I get more excited about killer executions than I do about big ideas.
