work for a hus & wife agency where she’s sole reason it’s successful but she’s given him (with 0 agency experience) a co-CEO role. He’s combative, distrusting & ruining culture. What do you say?

I stay far away from family businesses.

Have been in that exact situation but the husband had the talent and the experience. His wife had a Creative Director title without a creative degree and no experience. Simply because she was his partner. Needless to say they churn through staff like crazy.
They also took out issues from their relationship on staff as well as pulling them into their relationship drama. Easily the most dysfunctional business I’ve ever experienced.

Look for a new job. After securing a new job, have a heart to heart with the wife and let her know. Then leave and let her know if anything changes, you'd be happy to return.

People get to senior leadership because of risks like this. To put yourself out there and let others see you were right after everything blows over.

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
