From what I heard, it’s a real snake pit. People act nice to each other but it’s a thin layered facade. Everyone is afraid to make mistakes because it’s actively used against you if you do. So everyone is trying to save their job. And people who have to save themselves don’t have the space to take care of others around them.

I don’t know about the others here, but I still enjoy working at Ogilvy and the people I work with. Yes, things could be better from a leadership standpoint more from a better communication POV which is ironic for one of the world’s best communication agencies but just wanted to say that it’s not all doom and gloom. I am hoping things get better not just here but for Advertising in general.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
