I’ve been to couple different big name agencies and they all seem to have this problem. They make an announcement as if someone amazing is going to come in, and when you actually start to work with them, they have no idea what they’re doing. Just all talk and never any results.

Yep. It happens a lot.... but would add it seems most acute at the highest levels...it feels like individual divisions, team leads and group heads feel the pressure pretty constantly and feel at risk (and indeed are let go) yet the person who is running that entire office has a free pass.... makes for a particularly sucky environment

@OP, Is your sense of frustration at the industry as a whole or maybe one specific company that has been all over the news for layoffs and office closings recently?

Well huge in brooklyn have two really competent leaders. Fred and Thiago are awesome. Fred specially. So maybe you are in another office or working with other DCs ... or as we say in brazil, complaining with a full belly.

@SAD1 do you mean Fred, the guy who quit two weeks ago?

He did? Wow. I didn't know. Where is he? I spoke to a recruiter and I said I loved his work and he didn't said anything hahaha

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
