We need a no a-holes policy. And just because you’re senior and loud doesn’t mean you’re right.

This policy would collapse the industry.

This is exactly why we need more MBAs in adland

The thing about a no-assholes policy is you actually need to enforce it across the board. Including high performers. Including leadership. Including clients.

Most agencies have margins too thin for that kind of hard line.

I feel like most places that have a “no a-holes policy” or “have no egos here” are usually run by a-holes with big egos.

They’re too honored and humble to realize how big their egos are.

You mean a no a-holes policy here in FB? In general? Or just at Goodby?

funny

I meant at Goodby and advertising as a whole, but everywhere would be nice

Then we also need a no lazy, no whiners, no complainers, no can’t be pushed policy.

That's almost exactly what it means. Because there is no "right". So all that's left is confidence and favoritism. Loud can do some of that lifting.

In this economy each individual regardless of their seniority or title should be fair game to receive ‘STFUs’ as necessary and intensely as the issuer deems fit.

Emphasis on ‘should’ lol

I once joined an agency that claimed to have one of those. But lo and behold, there were many, many assholes there.

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
