Work ended at 6:30 PM but I only mentally clocked out about 5 minutes ago. Did any of you think it was going to be easier to find WLB as you progressed up the ladder? I did and it's beyond surprising to me that it's only gotten worse. I don't know what I'm having for dinner and it's too late to cook one (at least for me), so here I am mentally preparing to go to Chipotle. Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it is for the rest of the CDs as well?

Same over here. Actually feels good to know there are other CDs going through the same. I actually had a better work life separation in my junior role as a graphic designer and sometimes, I wish I could just go back to doing that... but earning what I earn now haha. Guess its the tradeoff.

I wish I was jesting. Start planning your second act now.

Same. Zero balance.

And being told that you can't bill that many hours despite meetings taking up 30+ hours a week.

Part of the reason we all go freelance. It’s better.

What is forcing you to work so late? As the CD, you gotta work with your account and pm’s to make it so you have enough time built into schedules so you’re not working nonstop. Obviously sometimes it’s unavoidable, but most of the time, it is.

Gotta make your account folks do their job. Unless you work on Samsung, in which case, quit.

I definitely thought I would have better work life balance because it seems like all the people above me are out on the golf course or on vacation all the time. That has not been the case for me at all. The more I move up the worse my work life balance has gotten.

The more I go up, the more roles there are created above me. Remember when an ECD ran the shop? Now it’s multiple ECDs and multiple CCOs. Was this always the case? Or am I just seeing it as I rise up the ranks?

Have a fundamental question: why would an AD give a discount on a brand new Rolex? Is it similar to car dealers giving discounts on inventory on the lot? Or the discounts only apply to pre-owned? And if an AD does give a discount on brand new, what range should I be looking at?
