Professionally -- get a new partner. Ask your creative manager to see if there's a way to switch within the agency. If they have set partners only, try to get a new job without them.
Personally -- spend more time with them and see if the spark is still there. If not, it might be time to go your own ways.
This right here. Cut ties if not on same page.
On second thought, it’s probably just growing pains. I miss my old partner a lot, and perhaps I’m not giving the new writer a fair chance. They rubbed my boss the wrong way on our first project together, and I’m now very concerned for the projects we will be put on. Which honestly speaks more to the agency structure being toxic than it does to my new partners work. Even more reason to jump ship.
I spent years with a partner that didn’t suit me. And I didn’t suit him. We were opposite people with polar opposite taste and sensibilities.
Although some might think so, that tension doesn’t help good work get made. We didn’t fight or dislike each other, but we also didn’t work together.
I wish we had separated years before we finally did.
Don’t make that same mistake. One slightly uncomfortable conversation can help the trajectory of your career immensely.
Dealing with the same thing🫠
Lmao imagine. I’m sure so many people in the industry are going through the motions of adjusting to new partnerships.
I hope it gets better for both of us CW
My partner sucked, I asked to be separated and so we were amicably divorced. Now that we don’t work on briefs together we get along great lol
Get your ducks in a row and start planning your exit gracefully.
I spent a year with a partner who had a terrible attitude and who was pretty lazy. Found out a lot of his work in his portfolio wasn't his own. Not great.
I had to overcompensate and work twice as hard just to get normal work out.
Eventually it became obvious who was doing the heavy lifting, and more people caught site of that bad attitude and they were let go.
After he was let go heard a lot more stories from people who didn't want us on certain jobs b/c of rude comments he had made and other rude exchanges.
Wish I had forced a seperation earlier.
