If you aren’t convinced award shows are rigged, ask yourself if you believe them when they tell you that they’re a non-profit organization. At a time when agencies are shutting, merging and laying people off, we don’t see Cannes merging with the One Show or the Clios or the Golden Drum or Kyoorius or others just as dumb, or cutting down on categories or hiring or doing anything good to help the industry, besides taking your money and giving you an award in return.

I have been finding a number of providers that are in-network (UHC) but the surgery centers are out of network and I was told that I have to use in-network. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm not seeing how much use the benefit is when the most expensive part is out of network.

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

Those of you who have left a firm, do you still keep in touch with any of your former supervisors, via email, happy hour, or otherwise? How long did you wait to re establish contact? I’m in a small market and worry about perception at my current firm. TIA

Moved over to a review system called 15Five. It allows you to review your manager. I gave my manager a terrible review. The catch is: they get to “anonymously” see your reviews. Bad move?

If you were offered a job at a great agency but working on just one brand, but it was a big one like Nike or McDonalds, would you do it? Being siloed sucks, but maybe worth it for a big account?

Where do you stay up to date in the best ideas from the industry?

Kind of wanna move to Europe, where do I find an awesome job europeople? CD.

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

What’s a gal got to do to get an interview with Droga5? Any CDs in here willing to check out my book?
