There will always be an elite in-group, it just won’t be gender based and (most likely) you’ll always be on the outside.

It’s only a boys club with creatives. Everybody else is pretty mixed or probably female heavy.

Account is mostly women. HR is mostly women. Creative rank-and-file is 60/40, women. The “boys club” you speak of is at CD-level+, and in the C-suite.

Sadly, until it stops being a global problem, it’ll always remain an agency problem. But since it’s now palpable, there are few who are unintentionally fostering that environment.

Out of 23 new hires in the past few weeks, 6 were men. We are intentionally NOT a boys club, with frequent women-specific events and PR promotion of women specifically. Special rooms exclusive for nursing mothers. In fact, we’ve created new C-suite roles to give women more executive leadership positions. What I’m saying is...not every agency is like the agencies you’ve experienced.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
