Not enough MBAs sadly

It’s the latest employment springboard for advertising!

Good - there's work to do!
Bad - they don't have enough people to do it!
Bad - they've literally just stopped talking about raises/promotions -- basically on hold until the merger happens and then probably on hold some more
Bad - no summer party
Good - the people are great
Bad - we never get to talk because we're all swamped
Good - we get fed a few times a week
Bad - there are never any napkins in the office

No napkins is a sign of the end times…

Pretty messy from what I can gather from old co-workers & the news about the merger with IPG.

Feel like I dodged a bullet interview-wise.

Its a mess and everyone who is still here after the last round of layoffs is bracing for the next round. The best part is when your coworkers get laid off the company doesnt bother to inform anyone, so you might just show up to a meeting and find a few key people missing without any kind of transition plan in place to pick up the slack.

Well they laid me off so.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
