We need to make a public list of agencies who treated people well, and horribly, so when these same agencies desperately need people, we can go to the good ones and leave the horrible ones to fall apart.

To the employees who take the "2 bag rule" too seriously: my wallet cross body is not going to take up anyone's over head space. Men have pockets, I need somewhere to put my phone.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

So WFH is a thing now. I spent the last 4 years building my copywriter career in nyc, got some cool shit in my portfolio. But let’s say I wanna move back home, can I still get freelance/full time gigs from nyc while I live back home?

Thoughts about Digitas Health?

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

What odd questions about your job did you get at the xmas / Hanukkah table?

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊

Blocking the Instagram accounts of (toxic) brands you no longer work on because you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life anymore 👏

How long did you stay at your first job?
And what made you change places?

I really need to know. Does anyone genuinely care about their jobs anymore? Money aside.

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

Today my boss told me I need to work on showing my frustration directly to people. She mentioned a meeting THREE weeks ago where, during a meeting, I said one single thing that showed I was unhappy with not being included in a particular meeting (for a project I was leading), and my tone made it clear I was unhappy about it.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?
