Definitely lots of claiming others work, or implying they did the grunt work on research/strategy projects.
Nothing specific comes to mind, people are usually a little too coy to make a big move against someone!

Aw man.

A senior management person threatening to destroy someone’s career is pretty bad. That’s less furthering your career and more protecting it/the company but that’s where the real nasty stuff is. The thing is with a big enough job title you can get away with a lot. Can’t exactly fire yourself.

Office politics can be brutal but subtle. In general ambition can make people be dicks.

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.

Agencies seem to have overcome Level 5 restrictions for this year’s Christmas campaigns. Best year in a while. Impressive, given the circumstances.
