Make Suggestions Great Again. I’m so sick of everyone in the industry offering meandering and meaningless feedback just to say they got their 2 cents in. If you have concrete suggestions: great! But don’t just talk for 5 minutes about how something makes you feel without providing any actionable suggestions to improve the work.

In my career, strategists have been the foremost practitioners of vague, directionless suggestions and talking just to talk.

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?
