Would you quit if you found out your project load was more than all of the other creatives in your department combined? I’ve been busting my ass for months thinking everyone else was just as busy and that this would pass, but now I just feel taken advantage of and deeply betrayed.

If they're stacking you like that, it could be because you deliver the strongest work. In which case you may have some leverage to ask for a promotion and/or raise.

Think if it this way...they're very dependent on you.

Yes I do agree with Publicis 1. Knowing they think highly of you and are disproportionately dependent on you is useful information, as leverage. But if using that info doesn't yield any real benefits to you there, bounce for something better when you can.

Chat to your ECD / CCO / boss, not traffic. Tell them your hands are full and you'd like to have some support under you or around. You can oversee it, train them up etc, but you just need people to help with the workload. Then learn how to delegate. Soon you'll be a CD.

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?
