When they announced the p.s merger they gave a big speech about consulting, digital transformation, etc. I raised my hand and said “what about advertising?” He said “I’m glad you asked! We’ll have a new logo and positioning for our new brand. We’ll be advertising it soon.”

“... no, I mean, I make advertising.”

“You do?”

That was the moment my resume went out the door.
