We were named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women in 2025 // Newsweek. First of all, f&%k right off. Second of all, now we know why they did that Grey Rising bs. It’s all about the public accolade versus fixing what’s broken inside the agency. I’ve had enough.

What are your thoughts on leaving a stable but unfulfilling job for another one during these times?

What is fastest way to improve both structured communication and thinking? Any helpful books or drills?
It’s the one consistent feedback I get while casing , “to be more structured” I’m there for math ability , business logic , creativity.

Might have to leave the “all things points” bowl soon if these creepy ant/roach/bug posts continue. Making me so paranoid to stay in a hotel now smh

Please help me decide…Peru vs Costa Rica in December first week? I will be traveling from NY

Hello, I was recently let go from my firm for not being able to pass the series 10 exam. I passed the 9 and have my SIE, 7, and 63. Are there any jobs out there that require the 9 but not the 10? All the jobs I can find require them both but I’d like to use my 9. Thanks for any advice!

Currently a Practice Manager at Pediatric office and non-trad pre med student majoring in computer science and I want to break into Tech now . Mainly Data Analyst . Does anyone have any suggestions on any courses or routes i should be taking besides finishing my bachelors degree?

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Interesting investment opportunity with PSTH. Biggest SPAC with Tontine warrants. In short, for every 9 common shares you buy and hold through the merger, you get 2 shares priced at $23. The price right now is $26. I would get in and gradually increase by a multiple of 9 and hold until at least Dec 2021

Is there any shift allowance in LTI? Also regarding mediclaim, how much is the mediclaim amount given, is it for only employee? How much is the term insurance?

How are single people managing primal urges during this I wonder. Dont bother answering if you never got laid before this anyway. I am just curious as sexting & porn can only go so far

Can some refer me in cogni...

The son of the owner where I work has been coming to work with a gun showing it off to people. He got into an arguement, put his hands on another employee and threatened to put a 9 bullet in his head. I suspended him and opened an investigation. The owner is mad and feels my case is biased and suspended me. He admitted guild and its not about what happened but why! I need to protect the business & secure the victim to lessen the chance of him reporting this to EEOC or DHL. He's being a dad

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Has anyone transitioned from solely doing HR functions into Talent Acquisition/ Recruiting ? If so, how has your experience been? Did/do you like it?Has it been difficult?

Please reach out if you need a referral at IBM

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Does anyone know anything good/bad about working at red fuse?

How do you deal with being paired with a freelancer who just straight up sucks at their job? I’m trying to find a tactful way to tell my CD that it’s just not working and I can’t see it working for the next month or so while we search for a permanent partner replacement.

Where would I find a list of all the advertisers who are doing Super Bowl TV spots next year ? Thanks

Any word on Swift in Portland?

LinkedIn has “open for services” option. I’m happy with my full time job but want to get a few design work just to keep exercising that muscle as I don’t that much anymore (and also fora few extra bucks)

Do you think it will look bad for my employer to have that option open?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

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

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

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

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

I have an internal interview for a potential promotion soon. Any tips on how I should treat it vs. a regular interview?

Which agencies are going through layoffs

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

The hiring process is dated and exhausting

a. No less than 3-5 interviews. If you’re in tech, that final “on-site” is likely a test or presentation equivalent to hours of work.
b. Then, the thank you notes to eeeevvveerrryyyooonnee you interviewed with
c. The anxiety-ridden waiting game
d. The offer + negotiations
e. References
f. Background check

WTFFFF, ya’ll owe me $$$ for my time

Had my review (it was good) and manager says that they’ve put me up for promotion/raise saying that there’s no guarantee / not sure if it will get approved — wondering what that means? 🤔 (I’ve been at the company ~2 yrs without any raise/bonuses)

How’s life in Layoffland today?
