Not sure if this counts but "it's only an ad" is by far my favourite. It's something my CD used to say whenever we were a) killing ourselves on something that was never going to be good or b) one of us fucked up art or copy or anything in a way we really shouldn't have.

It's something I think a lot of us need to hear a lot more often.

Does anyone relate when I say I’m carrying the mental load of the team? I am constantly aware of what needs to get done, tracking it, and wondering when it is ok to let it go. Example: asked someone to close the loop with Product on something urgent. Heard nothing. I mentally kept track and remembered. Asked about it. They forgot. Had to do 3 Slacks to complete.
