I'm brand new to agency life, and have been in my position for about 6 months. I'm considered a jr but am basically running the creative on this account with little over site. Is it time for a raise?

I've been where you are. You may think your running the account but honestly your just doing your job. Executing work and selling to your client. Doesn't mean you are running your account. Unfortunately sometimes you don't realize how much bs your CD is dealing with on the account or maybe even other accounts they're on. When it comes to being a CD your work becomes a lot more management and admin bullshit then execution. If you're respected stay where you are and learn, if your creative director just sits and plays in the computer – then maybe it's time to go.

Depends on the work they're doing and scope. I think raises and promotions should be expedited if the work quality matched that of a role above them. If all is true, this is more reflective of either 1) poor org structure 2) misdelegated responsibilities 3) unqualified managers or 4) over scoped account.

That's fine. Also, not all that unusual or out of this world effort in our business. Add it to your list of accomplishments when you discuss your performance and potential raise at your 1 year review

If you're doing all the work because your place is understaffed, take the experience you got and leave immediately. You will never learn enough, but people will hire you based on the fact that you did your best under fire. If you're doing all the work because you're smarter than everyone else, you probably aren't, and need a reality check, so you should also probably leave, and find out how wrong you are.

It's a very tight team (the other AD is not even 50% allocated) with little to no day to day involvement on the CDs part for the last 4 or so months. Have sold in multiple platforms to the client, have developed the look and feel for a majority of these platforms on some crazy tight turn arounds, aided in product launch development etc

It's time for spellcheck. Oversight!

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
