Wait, so they’re bringing Pepsi to a BBQ that doesn’t want it, they shot it like a social experiment to make it feel real but then scripted it like a corny rom-com? Every decision they made baffles me.

What does burnout feel like for you?
I’ve been pedal to the metal, launching one or both of my two brands, filling in for departed managers AND direct reports who weren’t replaced, and living through pandemic madness for over a year now. The work never stops but I have never felt less engaged. The word “kickoff” fills me with despair. I’m burned to a crisp, right?

What’s a fair expectation for my first raise? Publicly traded co with ~2500 employees. I’ve been doing litigation with the company for almost 3 yrs and have only had a 2% cost of living raise so far. Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.

I think my company that I am GC of is a sinking ship, the issue is I have too much equity in the company to jump. I’m trying to save the ship rather than jump overboard I hope it’s the right decision.

Anyone over here got email for new joiner welcome kit?

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

For lateral in TCS, after onboarding, how many days it would need to get laptop ?

You ever have one of those days where nothing is going your way, and then you buy some ice cream to bring home, and then the ice cream falls on the floor?

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?

Just realized it's not Friday ☹️

May be a stupid q but can anyone give me insight into the structure of digitas? I see all these copywriting and creative roles and media planner roles. Are their strategists? Planning and creative....

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

What about Italy? Anyone working there?

New to IT B2B marketing. Any advice on how to educate myself with IT? Any classes, books, etc. that you recommend?

Community Manager: Outdated term for social. What would you rebrand it as for a more real-time & accurate description of life in social? 🤔

If you got fired tomorrow, how long can you go without a paycheck? Assume you get 1 week of pay for every 6 months worked, and then can do unemployment after that ($425 a week)

So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?

Which holding company gets the best rental car discount? And which rental company?

Practical advice on how to deal with a mansplaining colleague?? 🙄

If your agency would pay for any training, education, certification you wanted (no limits on time or money including PTO to complete) what would you do?

Brands closing for climate change? Wouldn’t that lost income be more effective/useful if they donated it to clean energy alternatives instead? Do a spot about it to promote it & it’s content. Win. Win

Fellow bald / balding 🐟: Do you shampoo the peach fuzz on your head? Or are you a top-to-bottom soaper?

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.

Pretty tired of smart women undermining each other, especially seniors doing it to juniors. Why the hell is the first instinct to attack&destroy? Not into kumbayas but more into having my peer's back.

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?
