Our internal branding is the most hideous I’ve seen in my 20 year career and I’m on the verge of saying something. Hate having to position my team’s gorgeous work in this mess and I feel like it loses us business, too.

Do it. Your case is simple: if an agency can’t properly brand themselves, what hope is there that a potential client will want that agency branding them?

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?
