Although this is generally true in advertising it is particularly so at FCB. If you aren't a part of the FCB elite, you are treated as garbage. A complete and utter worthless piece of shit.

Has anyone bought a house/condo in a different area from where their office is currently based (esp recently)?

Genuine question: can someone explain to me WHY people send other members on their team files to put on the agency server? I’ve witnessed this at every agency I’ve worked at, and it’s never an issue of access or file type/size. To me, it’s always come across as lazy or a power move but I really want to be wrong. Any justifiable reason why this is a common practice?
