I'm in my second week of my new job working across verticals I haven't previously worked on. Therefore additional research is needed when I'm kicking off new projects (so far 3). From the context of questions being asked to project forecast for the next quarter’s scope, I guess I'm not moving fast enough. I will call out that I am backfilling a role so projects are just being thrown to me left and right without historical data and social playbooks etc so everything feels like a guessing game.

I’ve been in advertising for 22 years and I only understand about 30% of what you said. Is that a bad sign for me?

Is this a bad sign already? Also this agency has a high turnover rate

It’s a very bad sign. You need be vocal about the reality you’re dealing with because otherwise, if and when things go wrong, you’ll be who they point at. Make it VERY clear to people that you expect to be properly onboarded and given context before you move a muscle. Why the hell would you need to answer questions about scope? Call on your PMs or account people to get their shit together. You’re new. Remind people. Pull that card until they set you up better.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
