Why is it that all I seem to read about are new c-suite appointments with salaries in the millions and then see all these layoffs or unemployed support staff? Who is doing the work?

Because we’ve jumped the shark as a nation on morality in the spirit of individual capitalism. The do because they can, and we have all trapped ourselves in an ever worsening situation as devalued cogs in wheels. All the “people over profit” sentiments of days past is gone. Symbolic gestures are cheaper than paying your employees, or hiring enough employees to keep workload manageable.

Yes, keep the company profitable. That is a no brainer, and obviously has to be taken into consideration, but it’s not being handled right this day and age.

We’re close. Almost time for a revolution. Those stock prices would absolutely plummet if we all went on strike for a few days. But that means we ALL have to (seems to be getting there though little by little)

This and senior leaders are having to step down and accept less, leaving no room for growth for those below because there has always been less room at the top of the pyramid.

Working for a big insurance provider and currently at a grade 6 individual contributor role and want to get a grade 8 manager role. Managers make 40% more than my current salary on average. Is it crazy to think I would get offered that because it’s a senior position? I know 10% is a promotion raise at the company but that wouldn’t make sense jumping up 2 levels. Thoughts?

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼

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.
