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.

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
