Same. Also getting better projects. I volunteered for extra work on top of my crazy brand and they never gave me work. They would complain they didn’t have enough people but I’d ask to join projects and would get no feedback.

Unfortunately, movement to a new title has been difficult. I’ve noticed my white and male counterparts have been promoted to manager title whereas i was “promoted” to a coordinator role despite experience.

I’m struggling with this as well. Should I use the internal job posting or look for another gig. I’m watching younger folks, and nepotism babies get a head.

I have been subjected to abusive treatment by colleagues for an extended period of time; the HR team was well-aware and did not address the racial bias and inappropriate commentary head on. The revolving door of staff is not a viable bandaid and new hires are tone deaf to the trauma and damage that I and existing staff experienced. Needless to say, in 2021 we are no closer to any sense of equality or inclusion.

For those of you who take medication in the morning, when do you take it? I usually take mine when I get to the office, but I’m starting to feel like that’s cutting into my workday productivity.

Hi - first, white woman here. Please let me know if I am intruding! That said, a friend of mine is looking for CD CWs and she was really hoping to bring a woman of color into the role. It sounds like there aren’t even applicants. I racked my brain and while I know many who are in the art side, I don’t know a single writer. If you are interested, DM me your book! It’s a fantastic job. Also, I was wondering if there is a reason there seem to be less CD writer females of color vs art?
