I’ve been at Mekanism for five years. We are not without our flaws, but I can truly say I have never worked at place where I have been more intellectually stimulated, given an immense amount of autonomy, made actual incredible friends, AND felt that leadership ultimately wanted to create a humane place to work.

that’s wild because i worked there (nyc office) for six months and felt like most people were actively anti-intellectual (agency culture tended towards favoring the female creative who brought cookies vs the female creative who wrote the scripts than won the pitch). the agency was overly hierarchical, and very temperamental to any small change in the biz

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Just saw a post on LinkedIn where the ECD of a mid-sized agency praised a large group of employees showing up to a shoot and acting as extras and principals for free for a client spot. He is super proud that for the team rallying together for work that “wasn’t even that interesting”…This doesn’t read as teamwork to me, it reads as the client exploiting the agency and the agency exploiting it’s workers…it’s a job not a school project? Or am I just overthinking this? Maybe?
