You know how if a designer is stuck they like go to Behance & immediately get inspired. What are some go to places for writers? I’m stuck on a manifesto. And I hate my life.

Just switched consulting firms and the work is a lot more interesting but man the people are really dull. Loads of events and everyone just sits around and drinks a bit. It’s the most basic conversations (weather, some sports).

Needs a big infusion of excitement and culture. People are nice enough just very bland.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Coming with 8 years of international sales, account management & shopper marketing experience, I’m getting Retail Associate/Sales Associate offers by CPG companies with as low as $18/hr and $0.46 per km fuel.

Weird question, but how do you guys pitch music related ideas (silly Jingles, parody songs for radio, etc?) I'm personally not musically gifted but am curious about how it's done.

Tired of spending insane hours and effort (two different things, lets be real) on projects and then being left off production.

More tired of talking myself into thinking next time will be different.

I feel like I wrote manifestos constantly in school & now I’m writing my first one for a actual client and I just don’t get why I’m doing it.

Would jumping to in-house for a ~40% raise, worth it? It’s a software company that seems a bit dated and boring tbh so I’m worried I’d burn myself out but the pay is attractive. Would it be a bad move to leverage the offer to try to get my current agency to even meet me halfway? We’re doing okay financially now and I’ve been there for a year. I like the work and the people but it’s very disorganized which is beyond frustrating. In-house seems more structured but likely less creative.
