Pay band transparency has long been one of the demands I hoped an ad union would fight for. Good to see NY is making those moves. A union could help universalize this!

I’m turning 30 in a few months, and getting ready to move across the country to be closer to family and friends. Like many others, the last year has been the most challenging of my life. Any book suggestions that might be insightful in this pivotal chapter of my life?

Planning to move to New Zealand from the US next year for a better quality of life, how is the job market?

Is $250 (all in) for a bed and breakfast worth it? My GF seems think so but that’s a 3pm check in and 11am check out. Not sure the value is there?

These recent lay offs have sent me into a tailspin of anxiety. I wake up in the middle of the night panicking. It was so sudden and absolutely blind sighting. The realization that no one is safe is terrifying. Anyone feel this way?

Just logged in. How is everyone? I guess I need likes to msg? Any pointers?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Someone recommended me them 2 days back and I wonder why did I not know about this since past 7-8 years.

Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious?

Has anyone seen that Patriot Act episode (the Netflix show with Hassan Minaj) where they talk about the video game industry? It sounds very much like advertising and they’re finally unionizing.

Soooo we just got bought by Accenture. Anyone want to get this project off the ground?? Like, soon???

Imagine being the first agency to unionize. Imagine the press. For an industry that is so fueled by media attention, it would be a company's dream... wouldn't it?

It's been a busy couple of weeks at my workplace. Have you all been keeping your heads above water?

Happy last Friday of summer! Does your agency do Summer Fridays? Did you have time to take all of them? Why not All-Year-Round Fridays? Why not a floating weekday each week? What would you argue for?

Anyone else still at work? Because I am.

And some people wonder why I started this bowl.

My partner and dog are sitting at home waiting for me.

Sigh.

Rumors that an NYC-based PR company may be in the midst of organizing. They'd be the first in our industry, but still no advertising agencies yet!

OFFICIAL "BULLSHIT JOBS" DISCUSSION THREAD

Work on yours this week!
