Story time:
I once had an ECD who hated me. Except, I only found out after he let me go for “budget issues” that he had been talking shit about me left and right. He even sabotaged my attempts to join other agencies, telling hiring teams that I was “the worst writer he had ever worked with.”

Cut to a year later at my new agency. I’m killing. I get word that I’m the new CD for a new account, no pitch needed, “the previous agency was doing a shit job.”

FOLKS, it’s that ECD’s most beloved account

I can’t decide if Im happy or sad. I’m relieved for now.

The occasional posturing we get in here about getting fired or “cancelled” for bigoted opinions is extra silly when we consider Glassdoor makes you verify with your work email address or LinkedIn to post and if someone really thinks they’re being persecuted, Glassdoor knows who they are lol
