Thoughts on wildtype? Used to be TBWA, now is part of omnicom health group

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days. Are there music websites that are free that I can go to for quick lessons when I’m asked to teach in the classroom. I was told today with 5 minutes to prepare that we had a case, I couldn’t teach in my room and I couldn’t do the ukulele unit I had planned. I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.

Just did sit ups. Walked into the bathroom to check, still nothing 😐

Anyone tried kybella for double chin? Wondering if you liked it, how many times you had to do it, how bad is the swelling, and how much it cost per round?

Had a full on panic attack at work today because of all the social media coverage of Ukraine. I’m on a 24 social media (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter only) time out. 25% of my job is social media 🥺 I’m feeling Burt out. Just needed to get this out into the world.

What if we taught students (and ourselves) to humbly subordinate to an objective truth about the world?

What if we spent more time studying and conforming to that truth than reflecting on our feelings about it?

I believe we'd see a lot less anxiety and depression. Questions like "Who am I," "Why am I here," and "Where am I going" wouldn't be so crippling and terrifying. We could look beyond ourselves and marvel at the beauty of a universe greater than ourselves.

So that’s 1,000 deaths a day again. Mostly from the unvaccinated. GET VACCINATED

How do you help someone get out of depression?

Anyone here still alive?

I am on my second IUI attempt - I have PCOS and this time the ultrasound found no mature follicles after five days on letrozole. My RE is “stair stepping” the letrozole - moving to 5 mg immediately - in order to force ovulation. Has anyone experienced this? Taking letrozole mid-cycle?

Are people still live on here? I was diagnosed last year with ADD and I’ve tried two stimulants so far. I know they aren’t meant to be a magic pill but I’m still struggling with general tasks and feel like I’m doing the bare minimum. The Nurse has suggested I try non stimulants. What are peoples experiences with meds ? Did they work or not?

TIA

Serious question: When taking a girl out on a date - do you guys usually split the tab or is it more common to pick up the tab as the guy? I know it varies person to person but curious what the general consensus here is. Input from women and men appreciated!

Those who missed the TS&A FY21 session held today, Quinney told us there were only 12 promotes (2 of which are new MDs). TS&A has approx 200 people in it. Time to order a case of wine!

Gave my notice, HR pushed my term date up, then goes back on what they said because they realized they needed bodies to help out. 🙄 like why didn’t you double check with the scheduler and teams earlier. literally stated it in my email too. I can’t wait to leave 🥳

Could someone please explain the creative hierarchy in pharma? In general market the roles are normally: JR CW, CW, SR CW, ACD, CD, GCD, ECD. How are creative supervisor roles the same/different? Thx!

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

Creatives, how do you show your pharma work on your portfolio? Under a password protected page? Emailed pdf? In person only?

Art Supervisor.
Group Art Supervisor.
VP, Group Art Supervisor.
VP, Associate Creative Director.

Seriously: why so many levels? Sounds like a lot of BS… basically should be: Art Director, Creative Director, CCO. Agree?

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma
