These guys really think that a post like this will separate bad submissions from good ones?

I need a job but I don’t smile much so better not send my stuff.

Also he doesn’t mention what kind of work people will be doing, is there a lot of tvc/video? Or more digital? More platform level or tactical? This is what is actually important.

I mean, I literally had an informal interview that went super well a few months ago after having two CDs who work there email a referral for me. I’ve since gotten a new job, but they never reached out to me. After reading on here how it is over there, I feel lucky, but still. They gave me a bad taste in my mouth.

Worked there a year and would have left after a month if it weren’t for COVID. It’s as shitty as everyone says, you dodged a huge bullet.

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.
