Is it too much to ask for timely feedback and oversight from my CDs/team? I get that we’re all busy with a million things but I’m so tired of working overtime every day and now I’m giving up my weekends too. I have no means of recourse so what now?

Just keep putting in the time and effort, and eventually you’ll be rewarded by getting laid off in order to make the quarterly growth numbers.

For real though you need to either have a serious talk with your PMs, or a serious talk with your CDs.

It’s scary to do that, for sure, but if you’re really at the end of your rope, what’s the worst that could happen? Getting fired? It’ll suck but at least you’ll collect unemployment and not have to deal with assholes all day.

Do you have project managers at your agency? If so, they should be able to set blocks on your CD’s calendar to review the work and/or give them deadlines.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
