Our company just did a massive reorg, and now production reports to… marketing. No offense, but they genuinely don’t understand our workflows, timelines, or how many people it takes to pull off what we do. We’re already dealing with unrealistic deadlines and misaligned priorities, and morale is tanking fast. I feel like we’ve been turned into a content factory with no regard for quality or process. Has anyone been through a restructure like this and actually seen it get better? Or is this the beginning of the end?

Once production reports to marketing, it's game over. They’ll burn you out chasing trends and vanity metrics while calling it “brand storytelling.” Get your resume ready—this is usually a one-way trip to chaos.

GTFO.

Seriously.

Marketing should definitely work in tandem with creative but has ZERO business directing [it].

Thanks

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
