This Ted Talk on being nice at work caught my attention. I often feel like I’m being too nice, and I hate it. A lot of it comes from trauma of being call “difficult” at work when I was simply standing up for myself and my team. I don’t care if my colleagues “like” me but the respect is important. Have you ever had to deal with this at work? Or felt like you were being too nice?

While applying for a job after drawing one month salary in current company should I mention the current company in my resume? I'm ready to freshly negotiate based on previous CTC

Any idea of comp structure for CSAM at Microsoft Canada?

I took an in-house gig working with friends late last summer and I am about to get an offer from a biglaw firm for basically my dream position—I am feeling terrible because my current department is understaffed and I like the work, but the biglaw position has huge advantages including remote work and way higher salary. The actual workload will likely be the same. Someone tell me I am not a monster for leaving so soon!!!! Any advice, if you have jumped ship early and don’t want to burn bridges?

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not? There’s generally a perception here that L&W and K&E are the only US firms where London can even begin to compete with stateside in terms of generating l work organically but would be interesting to know what you all think? Be brutally honest.

What are the top litigation practices in LA?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

At what point do we publicly announce a minimum day rate under which no freelancer will go? The news this week about what C-level titles are paid is sickening. This is feudalism. Surfs unite!

Anyone else hearing from multiple WOC who had their Times Up RSVPs cancelled after the fact?

I’m working with a manager who likes to prioritize his ideas over strategic research, I want to be helpful because it’s very distressing to watch ideas being presented without the appropriate research, any advice?

Is there any industry recognition for poc creatives the way adage and others recognize creatives?

Being a male and Asian really sucks.

Anyone good marketing books recommendations or online certifications?

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

We’re hiring on our media & connections team. Various levels. If you’re looking to make a jump from a traditional media agency or a strategist who wants to get closer to both media and creative. Lmk.

African American 🐟 - why do I feel so annoyed when I hear “black” ads on the radio? With the sassy female leads and the urban slang and such. Feels so forced and wack. Just me?

How painful was it to watch the situation in Charlottesville? I'm beginning to think that hatred is a unending part of American culture. No solution. No kumbaya. Just is what it is.

I am a Sr. Designer in DC looking for a position as an Art Director with experience in brand strategy, alignment, print, motion & digital design. Interested in all openings. Thanks!

If I got a raise for every micro aggression I’ve received while at my current agency, I’d be in a really high income bracket! Hah.

The marketing for Black Adam is genius! I wish I was in entertainment. If you could choose one industry to do marketing for what would it be? For me it's easily film or games.

First time working with a celebrity for one of our campaigns. Anyone have any tips or advice? A little nervous here 😅

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

Transparent moment: I,recently,was laid-off a week ago. At this point compensation and work culture are the only things I’m looking at. I don’t want to compromise my mental health and I don’t want to work somewhere that is super fast paced. How can you tell if a team has a burn out culture?

If you could change anything to increase minority representation in marketing, what would you change? I think I'd want at least 2-3 minority employees in creative leadership positions to make sure things like colorism in ads less likely to pass the final edit.

Anybody struggle with imposter syndrome as a minority? How and why? Need some coping strategies man.
