Noob question from an intern: why do some agencies hire CDs on freelance? Is it genuinely easier and cheaper to staff a dude for awhile –while risking chemistry with team, causing higher potential costs down the road, than to use someone internally or hire for a new role?

I am serving notice period and in october month salary I haven’t received night shift allowance while other members of team have received it. Can anyone please confirm if there is such rule that within notice period Night shift allowance goes on hold and will be paid in FnF. Or should I raise this concern with my manager.

Do you guys judge everyone you meet based on their backgrounds (e.g. pedigree & work experience)?



I find literally everybody I meet, I look up their backgrounds and judge them / compare myself. I think this is a problem.

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

When is it OK to ask for a partner swap? I've been working with a super fun Jr. AD for four months, but I feel like I'm pulling most of the weight + that we aren't bringing out the best in each other.

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?

or
