I’m really sick of watching a male co-worker underperform for 4 + years now with zero consequences. Zero. We’ve told leadership and they don’t seem to want to touch the issue. Advice?

I have a female ACD that is worse than any jr At the agency. Since I'd started at there (more than a year ago) she haven't produced anything. Yet she got promoted while a midlevel team (a boy and a girl) is doing everything that is cool in the shop and nothing happens for them. I get where you coming feom with this "male". Years and years of unequal treatment. But this can happen with anyone.

Sometimes people fail upwards. I work with someone that cannot design, throws tantrums, passes off work, is always sick, leaves early, and does not have the respect of their team. I think the CD and GCD just like this person because they say yes and just do what they are told without any fuss.

Is he being favored over other male teams as well?

Did you talk with him before talking with management?

Do the clients like him?

Focus on making great work, don’t let others infect you with their toxic nonsense, and plan your escape. Nothing will feel better than leaving that painfully mediocre agency. I would know.

Update: he saw the writing on the wall and left.
