What’s the deal with deals (toxic culture). I’ve just finished my second project working with them a few months ago (3 year gap between the two projects) and I’ve never met a more neurotic/blame-culture group of people. They act like every day is an episode of the apprentice. It must be a horrible part of the firm to work/be managed in.

Deals work attracts certain personality types. Quite a few narcissists included

My D came from Deals and always called them vultures. Said the attitude is just a cash-grab, nothing more.

And when you look at the stuff they’ve done over recent years, and the impact it’s had on our society, it’s clear the people there have little to no interest in doing a good thing for society.

We see it daily in our towns, stores like BHS, Debenhams, House of Fraser, all shuttered because the business was sold to online retailers with no plans to revive retail.

The administrators had options to protect our high streets, but chose the most profitable one for themselves, rather than “building trust in society” or “solving important problems” 🙄

And the same happens in other sectors. They chase the profit margin, not the better outcome for society.

First question here. B Business Applied Finance degree, finished by the end of 2020. I have experience in multiple roles in different industries, customer service 10+ years experience. I started a new job in a private lending company 6 months ago, excelled in everything and I’m doing everything from managing client enquiries to credit applications and enquiries, financial analysis. It’s a small company and you must work around the clock. I’m currently at $70k and I’m trying to negotiate to $85k

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
