what do all the “vice presidents” on this do & at what types of agencies? i think i had 1 VP at 1 agency but there seems to be an abnormal amount here (unless it’s the same 3 very active VPs posting)🤷‍♀️

This app cuts off the rest: it’s VP, account director or VP, ACD or VP of business affairs, project management, production, studio...Basically VP of almost anything at all! There are hundreds of us at my agency alone. It’s meaningless really, does not mean you manage anyone or anything.

Everyone is a VP at some agencies. I think after a few years, they just give it out instead of raises. You feel you SHOULD be happy, but then you realize everyone has it. When you try to find a new job, you need to remove from your resume because they’ll think you make too much.

So I wanted to share my experience and see if it helps anyone else out there. I was not an alcoholic, but I was definitely alcohol abusive.

I would also do and say stupid things that just made no sense and I even got in trouble with the law a few times.

One day, my friend and I after a few day bender decided to take some LSD because we were hung over and just wanted to not drink and chill. (Cont.)
