Why do ACDs have tattoos and like Alanis Morrisette?

Because sometimes ya just gotta say “yeah sure whatever.” Because ya don’t got time, ya don’t got budget, and ya don’t got mental energy.

Yup.

Because when you reach that level it's not about the work ... It's about the money and revenue generation

I don't think complacency is the root. What I believe is that those above a CD are directing their attention aware from the work that effects their teams, without being able to say bluntly, the higher ups want me to focus on other things. Agency life does a poor job of explaining the business of running an agency, especially one reporting to a holding company

Because there is nothing new under the sun.

I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

New job.
Moved from agency after 6yrs, into a startup (€8m Series A, high growth); first marketing hire. My manager is ex VC, seems to like managing by fear, let’s fire X, let’s cut the agency etc. sets tight deadlines & adds urgent items last minute. Others seem to feel I’m doing great but I am butting heads with him constantly about unrealistic workloads etc. Really not enjoying interacting with him, thinking about leaving... should I stick it out? I feel like I’m being abused, but need money!
