Maybe, just maybe, those white people were the best candidates? Crazy thought, I know...

@CD1 this is obnoxious in an industry where 95% of offices are white and leadership is more male the higher up you go. It’s ridiculous to assert that white candidates are always the best ones for the job when agencies won’t even give POC and women the chance to A)get their foot in the door and B) prove themselves or get promoted. Best person for the job is how white guys like you make themselves feel better for not being diverse and pretending you’re a meritocracy.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
