There’s nothing more satisfying than watching your old agency crumble. Especially after they worked you to death, only to let you go so they could chase awards well out of their reach. 👋

I used to feel this way, but any time spent on anything other than how you’re doing and what you can control is a wasted effort, it won’t change anything. Far better off for it.

By all means use it as motivation.

Sometimes, this may not be true of you, we get comfortable. We finally get that job, nail that brief, get a big time execution that cleans up in PR and awards and we expect recognition, rewards and/or compensation but it doesn’t always work out that way.

Sometimes leaving, quitting, getting fired, made redundant (whatever you want to call it) reawakens the drive in us.

Doesn’t mean anyone has the right to work you to the bone for nothing, though.

A year ago, I left a job without another job lined up for burn out reasons. It felt like creative was the department that was listened to the least internally. I found out today that the CCO was fired last week. Sometimes you just know when things are bad and about to get worse. It’s always good to trust your gut. Even if it means being broke for a bit.

My firm has applied for my L1A visa. If that gets denied, my plan is to travel to Canada and re enter US immediately on B1/B2 visa (already have valid B1/B2 stamp) so that I'll get time to figure out things here in the US (sell my stuff, handle my bank accts etc). Is it possible for me to reenter US on tourist visa?
