I’m very happy at Martin. Great solid leadership and we’re going after accounts who want to make good work, not just pay well. The culture here is very warm and understanding compared to all the other places I’ve worked too. So there is hope

If only we were Global Culture Managers or new business execs instead of creatives then they'd value us more 🤣

I’m not. But I love this agency with all my heart, I just hate my chosen career path.

Thank you for sharing. I think what you’re going through is normal. I did a career change myself to advertising much later in life which was hard to do but am much happier. Now it’s just a matter of finding a company that supports this growth which is another piece of the puzzle.

I know it can be tough to go through this career limbo so am happy to talk if you need anything.

WK, you’re not supposed to say anything bad about WK ever. It’s literally a magical kingdom where everyone is so balanced and happy, every brief is perfect, every execution flawless and transformative. Stick to the script dude or you’ll bring the house or cards down.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Anybody have any resources/tools/exercises they can suggest to help with understanding strategy (i.e., high level thinking)? Nowadays a lot of my day-to-day involves strategic thinking and I’m more of a “in the weeds” kind of dude. It’s been challenging to see the bigger picture. Need to start thinking outside the circle and not so much about what’s inside. I’m fact, I want to start thinking that it might not be a circle at all.
