Do you feel you’re doing double the work because they assign you HM projects on top of your day to day projects?

Single Spanish-speaking GM hires replace the accounts that used to be assigned to entire multicultural ad agencies. You’re not doing double the work, you’re doing work that used to be shared between 10-15 people and you should be paid more for it. The agency and its holding company are making money off of you doing that work.

My advice is to tread carefully so that you don’t end in the “you are not a cw, you are a translator” cul-de-sac.

Yes. At some point I even tried to tell my account team that was not part of my job description anymore. It didn’t work. They claimed I can do it in my sleep and , well, they could save $$ on freelancers. #aprovechadas

I am currently unemployed but I am very curious about everyone’s company signature having she/her or he/him or they displayed. Are companies forcing people to write the pronouns you need to choose? I honestly never understood why somebody that wasn’t in the LGBTQ community would specify, and I know people are doing it to show support but if I started working again I don’t think I would want to put that in my signature. It seems political. What are your thoughts?
