I've been working at my company for 7 years. Is it just me or is every year just a different variation of a shit show? All the best planning and intentions in the world but things just do not seem to be changing! I really like where I work but I do wonder if this is an us problem or if its just the nature of all businesses at the moment. Would love other peoples opinions!!!

A lot of times it does feel like one of those YouTube videos of a puppy chasing its own tail. I worked at a place where we were constantly changing everything up based on data or research or who knows what. Having said that, the worst was always when we were told we were going to double down. That meant the stuff that didn't work would be done harder. Brilliant.

My company has been a shit show ever since I started. The manager who hired me quit 2 months in, and then I cycled through 2 more managers in 4 months and have been on my current manager for the past year and a half. But now another reorg is coming and I kind of need to find a new home bc what my role is becoming is not what I want to do. Also I’ve literally seen an entire changeover in management in the past two years I’ve been here

Hi! I want to go back to working with other humans (in person) after a successful 10 yrs of freelance/remote Creative services on my own. I am excited about working for brand development agencies, but I keep reading that in my late 40s, advertising might not be the most welcoming scenario. Are there any suggestions for "mature" diverse agencies (any size) to check out in NYC? I'm a bilingual, hard-working AD/Designer with a ton of design management experience. Gracias!!

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me).

Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
