My manager is all about tableau dashboard creation. No one on my team knows how to make them. I’ve been trying to learn for two months but he wants all the bells and whistles. Lately our check-ins are him ranting and saying if he doesn’t get what he wants by summer he’ll let people go. Can I switch projects? Or am I going to be fired? I’m trying just not fast enough it seems.

Does anyone have any knowledge re: typical severance packages for NPs that are laid off?

I recently found an opening for a similar role (paid social buying) that is fully remote (major plus) but is at Activision Blizzard. I'm super conflicted- they've been under SO much controversy (100% their fault) but I'm also sick of my current job (no WLB), and have always been interested in this industry. Does anyone know what it's like to work there now?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

My agency decided to resign the business for one of my favorite pieces of work. How do I go about the final thank you to this client in a way that is professional & representative of my company but also retains connections and networking opportunities without undermining the decision my leadership made?

I’ve noticed an ever increasing number of life coaches. One thing I noticed is that the majority of them have not really achieved (professionally or personally) much and are trying to coach others?

Has anyone thought to start an Over 40 group on advertising. Will a presence like that hurt older creatives or help stop ageism?

Remember when there were superstars in advertising? Campaigns you drooled over? CCO’s you’ve actually heard of?

I felt that every creative need to have a “side hustle” or another “career”? What do you think?

How much wine/alcohol do you drink in a week & your age? I will start - 45/M & on an average 1 bottle of wine weekly.

So I got an amazing offer from a former CCO of mine. Trouble is, now I have to notify my current agency where I've only been working for 6 months. I really like the place and the people, but the major salary boost and permanent WFH I've just been offered are just too good to pass up. How can I let my current employer down easy?

Let me throw down the gauntlet. Someday, AdAge will do a feature on ‘50 over 50’ or god forbid ‘60 over 60’ and it will turn the ageism debate on its head. Experience equals HIGH VALUE ASSET.

After 20 years in advertising, I want out. What other career could I choose, without having a degree, but has similar pay? Is it possible? Have to stay in NY because family, wife, kids are all in NY.
