What house plants are NOT toxic to cats? I swear every time I go to buy a new plant and look it up it says “toxic to pets”. I have a dumb cane which I know is toxic but didn’t realize when I bought it so now I just keep it in the laundry room away from my cat when I’m at work but that means no daytime sunlight. Would like suggestions on which plants I can buy that are safe to leave alone with my cat 😸

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

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

Audi ad is MVP so far

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.

Coworker (we’re the same level) has a tendency to use “I” statements and then proceeds to present the entire deck that we both contributed to equally…. So annoyed. How to get across to our bosses that I worked on it too?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

Is there any tv work worse than the State Farm Chris Paul and his agent unfunny turds? It’s like the creatives watched the Footlocker basketball work and tried to do that. WTF agency does this?

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

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊
