i love seeing “requires weekend work” in our production timelines. it’s like well umm maybe push things back a few days — why are we intentionally scheduling things on the weekend. all deadlines are arbitrary

Yeah, does anything really "require" weekend work?

Beware the “everyone is so nice. We have no egos here” agency.

What that really means is “if you question something, you’ll be deemed negative and difficult.”

Wearing the “crazy busy” badge of dishonor. Nope…you’re not busy you’ve been agonizing over whether a sweater in an ad should be blue or yellow.

Well first off, "asap" is not a deadline so that reflects poorly on the project manager or account manager that said that to you.

like

Yes! When an account person tells me something is needed ASAP I refuse to take that as an answer. I need a date, then we can negotiate from there.

I hate it. The account I work on constantly requires things ASAP with little to no notice
