Sapient, yes we feel picked on. Check out the threads here and see how many times "white" and "men/males" come up. Replace those words with "Jews" "blacks" " hispanics" or "women" and you'll see pretty quickly that it is unacceptable for everyone else except white men. I get it. I agree with a lot of it. But yes, we feel picked on (and we know we are a dying breed with huge targets on our backs and we cannot fight back).

ACD, I make more money than you because I'm your boss. I'm your boss because my ideas have so far been better and people respect me more than you. My boss (woman, Latina) makes more than me and has had more better ideas than me and is a lioness in this industry. See how this works?

@CD 1 - I started my career in advertising at 19 in NYC with an unpaid internship. I worked my ass off and made it to where I am today. People pretend to like you. That's what you pay them for.

@CD 1 - while I'm sure you're used to promoting hot young twenty somethings and then no longer being interested in them once they reach the unforgivable age of 34, you clearly have forgotten something: black don't crack. Oh, also: you're a sexist racist dinosaur.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
