Plenty of booze and Bayer work. Feels like there are a lot of symbolic creative directors and not much for real leadership. Many people are overworked because it’s so top heavy. Morale in the creative department is pretty low due to a general lack of order in workloads and expectations.

And this is subjective but the taste level at leadership level is a bit suspect. Very A to B story telling. Not many town halls will leave you with that healthy jealousy for other teams’ work.

Anyone know what the heck is going on at Chicago Portfolio School? Instructors not being payed, the two long-time administrators leaving (quietly but suddenly)… anyone on the inside wanna shed some light?
(I have been an instructor there for 3 years but am taking a break this quarter and not sure if it’s worth going back, Jeff is a profiteer and I honestly think the gatekeeping for-profit model is on its way out, but I really love my students and the opportunity to mentor)

Anyone else find it strange that Slack and Company has advised their employees that they are shutting the agency down on Friday, yet they still have available positions showing up online.
