Please, there are no “rock stars” in this business. I see that term used too often.

I was constantly called a rockstar until I started asking for a raise instead of cute corpo pet names.

I was a “rockstar” until I started setting boundaries and refusing to work 14 hour days. Now I’m just a regular old employee who doesn’t even get COL raises.

Same with the layoff! From rockstar to bottom-line cost cut when the merger happened.

What’s wrong with Swiss Army knife? If you’re a writer who can do HCP, patient, launches, maintenance brands, and have a ton of experience across a bunch of categories, that’s kind did what you are. Especially if you’re Swiss, too.

I was let go in a mass firing some years back. I went from rock star to “I gotta rock” in no time.

I remember the chaos at the Clio Awards back in the day, when everyone rushed the stage in a clusterfuck frenzy. Ad people are some of the most bitter folks around, constantly griping about how everyone else is clueless and only they understand creativity. Meanwhile, they’ve been doing the same minimalism thing , chugging out the some tired product plastered on a white background with a sad, whimsical tagline for the last 30 years, all while endlessly complaining about everything. Just my two cents

Does a “Rockstar” qualify as just a person who is creative , shows up on time , is decent and helpful to co-workers, and just does a good job at work.

Yeah not usually
