Well we're all still the worker bees, McCann. I'd guess the better question would be to ask our respective agencies and C-suite how much money they gave to charities and if they gave up their holiday bonuses. Assuming most would have to answer 1) not much if anything 2) hell no. Perspectives like yours only help corporations and the most elite, while keeping ordinary people down. Yes, we're lucky to have jobs. Doesn't mean we all can't strive for more or, gasp, hope to be rewarded and recognized for going above and beyond.

I don't know McCann 1 - I actually did work in social services for underserved populations for years before transitioning to this industry. So probably actually worked to make a difference in the lives of others rather than just sounding like a self-righteous blowhard about it.

@director1 it sounds like a bunch of privileged and entitled types, many of whom are deep into six figure territory, complaining that work didn’t give them extra cash. Don’t you realize how fortunate you are? Want a bonus? Go work in a soup kitchen.

There's a difference between being generally thankful for your lot in life (which I highly advocate) and telling people self-righteously that they shouldn't hope and dream for nice things. Also, @media strategist 1 - check your privilege - the work more/more opportunities doesn't always apply equally across the board.
