I'm currently at a company where a new CEO, who sees himself as an "artist" but lacks design and marketing fundamentals and creates chaos with moving goalposts and zero trust. Are there any real companies out there that actually trust their teams to succeed? If so, are you hiring?? I want all the responsibility.

Oooh I can related. I worked at an early stage startup whose CEO was somehow both of these things. He would give us complete freedom to execute his idea, but then constantly change his mind about what project we should be on. In the two years that I worked for him, I don't think I ever was able to see a whole project through.

Is this in an agency setting?

No, not agency. Internal Marketing Team at medium size company.

I am sure there are but unfortunately, the job market is awful right now. It really seems like nobody is actually hiring. Do you have any interest in some freelance work? You could try looking on Upwork to see what all is on there.

For sure, fully agree. I do freelance and consulting gigs here and there but desperately want to be part of a bigger team achieving lefties things than one can do on their own. Big goals, big asks, lots of teamwork etc.... just can't get the same build up and excitement when solo. So, def don't mind freelance as extra but still hunting for that full time one. Thanks for the response!

I feel like this is a story so many can relate to even if it's not the CEO. Leadership can sometimes be such a hurdle to get past especially when the decisions they want to make run counter to what the employees who are in the weeds every day say

I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

I've been having a little trouble finding work. No one hires for graphic designer. Where is a good place to find work other than fiver.... How does my work look, a book cover I designed.
