Thoughts on The Many LA? I heard they let go of all their creatives or something?? Is it even worth applying?

If you’re desperate for a paycheck definitely apply. Agencies have been laying off in droves lately then immediately look to refill half of those roles with candidates earning $15K less in salary than their predecessors. They’ll then bill the clients at the original employees’ salaries and pocket the difference.

Hiring freelancers would seem like a better idea. That’s what a lot of agencies did back in the 2008 housing crisis

Definitely worth applying. They’ve been doing some interesting work lately. More so than a lot of LA places. Plus, the head creative is about the best person you’ll find in the industry.

They do this constantly, worth applying but don't get attached.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
