In such a tight knit ad town, why does she have to post cattle calls on LinkedIn? Don’t the ECDs have relationships w creatives? Or shouldn’t she?

In case someone better sees it.

Why hire someone you already know about when someone with 100 Cannes Lions, who wants to be paid less than the majority of their peers, could be out there?

I’ll do it. I mean, if someone has to…

Because people in leadership have to be seen leading. Nobody gets or keeps a job today based on merit alone. You need to pull a page front from the influencers playbook and post everything you do

That was my first reaction. wtf doesn’t she (recruiter at digitas) just look at her Rolodex. Then I learned it was $90/hr, which led to my second reaction, which was get fucked

Hostility? No, dude. I made a suggestion. You pushed back. I clarified my position. Any hostility you inferred was in your head. All I was being is direct.

Then you decided to get snippy and condescending by telling me to go to bed. Now that EVP1 has called out your behavior and poor communication, you’re doubling down and being a jerk to both of us. It’s uncalled for.

You said, “Honestly really thought most creatives would’ve seen the gig posted inspired me to start this thread. Guess I am the only one.”

Yep. But when people pointed out to you that you were the only one, you decided to throw a temper tantrum about it. And here we are.

Fret not; not responding defensively to feedback is a skill you can learn.

This will be used in the mandatory bias training I will need to take by the end of the year.

What you’re experiencing and the post read as different things. And I do agree that there should be outreach to those who applied. And also agreed to broaden the search to give non- connected an equal shot at being considered.

It’s not that tight knit

It is very tight knit at the higher levels. More about who you know that what you know at all levels.
