As an over 40, if all the under-40s leave does that mean I won't get pushed out as quickly?

I’m one who jumped ship from a holding company to brand side. I did it because I felt that advertising was dying and big agencies were going down like a sinking ship, which is the prevailing sentiment right now. But here’s the thing. Now I have insight into how big companies with multiple brands actually work, how vast their needs are across all those brands, and how inefficiently layered and complicated they are. So now I’m not so sure the holding companies are going to disappear, even though it seems that way when you hear about all the layoffs. I think big holding companies have a slice of the market that smaller independent ad agencies just can’t touch. It takes a massive company to serve a massive company.

In short, my perspective has changed.

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
