My 9 yo nephew asked me if I knew the scientific word for zoomies. I was expecting a cute answer or nonsense but this little dude says “Frenetic Random Activity Periods. Also known as FRAP.”

Do I thank him for his Ted talk?

Welcome to the Turnaround and Restructuring bowl!

Married for 14 years with 5 kids. Since the start, my wife has had anger issues. She’s not violent, but will go on ‘anger benders’ for days where she cannot be kind to me, stonewalls, and even leaves. Sometimes this is based on a bad argument; most recently, it’s based in a story she conjured up and believes about me having an affair with my neighbor, even though it is 100% false and I’ve tried to show her that. Is this a sign of a personality disorder? Or something else? How can I support her?

Hello Friends,

Previous week my cognizant interview got cancelled, the reason for cancellation was due to some technical issues interview invitation mail's weren't triggering . Till now they haven't scheduled interview.

Can we go for the other side of the spectrum this time - what’s the lowest you’ve ever bill in a month? (And pls confirm you didnt get fired for it for our mental health!)

Hi Fishes, Could you guys share details of medical insurance provided by Amex for employee & parents, what's the max coverage and premiums. Are pre-existing conditions covered for parents as well ?

I have been an elementary reading specialist for 8 years and before that I was a first grade teacher for 10 years. Thinking of making a jump to middle school reading specialist. Any advice? Thoughts?

Can some one brief what is MOA Monthly Overseas Allowance in Infosys Limited?

Im looking to close my CSR. Does anyone know if they give FULL refunds on the annual fee if closing within 30 days of the anniversary? Assuming the fee has already hit the account.

Anyone else volunteer to go to a bunch of trials when they're getting stir crazy? It's fun.

What agency is Rogers going to?

Worst advertisers in the GTA: Spence Diamonds and Kars 4 Kids. It amazes me that both of them keep trying to shake up their ads here and there and NEVER seem to get it right. I literally turn off the radio when I hear either of them now.

Fully employed Art Director (agency) looking to pick up some freelance contracts on the side. Can this be done?

Indie agencies in Toronto like BHLA/LLC, The Garden, Juliet Creative, Salt… what’s our hive mind sentiment towards them? Thoughts on reputation? Are any on your list of places you’d want to work? Would you choose them over a network shop? Curious to hear what the collective thinking is.

Are awards still make or break, and do top shops like Rethink, Cossette, FCB etc. only hire creatives from big shops or other top shops? I’ve been in the biz for 6-7 years working at mostly small/mid-size shops & got some good work (so the CDs say), like some fun TV & social for big brands, but I’m finding myself a bit stuck. I know it’s COVID, and no awards + being a WOC probably doesn’t help. Thoughts on hiring process from people who work at these places?

Toronto account supervisors—can you share your salary and YOE?

Anyone here hiring for an Account Supervisor? 😊

Who won OLG?

Is Dentsu really that bad to work for? All my ex-coworkers told me to stay away from there when I'm applying for something new.

Simple question:
Strategy Magazine or The Message?

Is Diamond as bad as anyone is saying? By the way, why does everyone hate that agency? Seems like they managed to bring two good CDs. Anyone? Insight?

Wondering what people think about SALT XC? Would love to hear initial reactions or experiences.

Does anyone know a good recruiter in Toronto?

Just wrapped up a nice Friday 4pm meeting with feedback to be addressed for Monday morning. Zero acknowledgment that such a request means working over the weekend. Just unspoken expectation as always.

Like this post if you’re also working this weekend.

Anyone know what Toronto ad schools are doing for portfolio reviews now?

Just completed a freelance gig and it kinda sucks to have to wait for the next one. Any agencies have a need for a freelance writer or perhaps full time?

This campaign about sticking it to Bezo’s… by paying for his products and using his platforms!

Hiring a community manager, anyone have any good people to recommend?

I’ve heard you get a bonus if you win a Lion. Is that true? Or is it a holding company thing where the agency gets a bonus?

Does anybody know anything about Forsman? what’s it like there? and how it’s going?
