I've received an offer from another agency and my manager says he needs to see it before a counter offer. He says it's GroupM policy. Is that true? Thank you!

I was at a friend’s. Her and her neighbors are all moms and get together for dinner while the kids play. A father showed up to drop off kid while the mom was busy elsewhere, instead of going about his plans he stayed with us. I felt so much sexual tension with him there its so weird. I was attracted to something about him and i know i had his attention. I could barely look him in the eyes when he would make conversation. I wanted to… you know what. SO WEIRD. Hes not even a 10! Im so confused.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Hey strategists, what’s something you would love an intern to provide you with or something they have done that made your life a little easier? (Cont.)

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.

So I was laid off. Is it okay to talk about it at my next job interview? Feels like everyone knows anyway.

Ted Royer helping JL win VW. Rumor or true?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Does anyone believe in this Snapchat IPO, do you feel it will be worth the investment?

How do some of y’all manage to go 2+ years without a raise? Like are you just really good at budgeting?

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

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. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. 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❤️

Thoughts on companies pulling media dollars from NFL?

Anyone still being asked to come into the office for pitches?

Too late in life to start a cult? Getting kind of old for advertising.

I have an idea that I think could change the shape and makeup of the industry, and reduce discrimination in the hiring process.

I need to find developers however. Any idea where to look. Self funded

Confession: I never finished hey whipple. Got busy with work and life in the middle of it and never picked it back up.
