You ever work with someone that’s just a straight up hater? You bring forth a great discovery and everyone is giving kudos except that one person. You get a new hairstyle and on the call, everyone compliments the new look except for that one person. In the office, you say hi to everyone but there’s that one person that avoids eye contact instead of just saying hello. Don’t be like this.

Is walking out of the bathroom stall after taking a loud, gassy dump to the horrified and disgusted face of your CCO a good reason to start looking for a new job? Asking for a friend.

I feel like the answer is obvious but agency leadership, feel free to weigh in: got a reply from a job I applied for, they sent a 13-slide "interview prep" deck that states a 21-day, 4 part interview process alongside a test brief they expect will take 5 to 10 hours. This is a fairly new independent agency btw. Are hiring expectations really that high now or is this as absurd as I think it is?

Probably walking into a lions den with this one…Art Directors when you were juniors how and when did you learn what a concept vs an execution? And tips on how to better conceptual thinking? Because I’m feeling really stupid right now.

My contract was unsurprisingly not extended this week after I couldn't keep from calling the CD out when he was blaming a junior for a mistake that was fully his own. "You should have known I mistakenly approved that because it's not up to my standards!" after the client didn't like his concept, spit flying as he was screaming at her. I at least wish it meant I was a good person but I just hate the guy. The job market is good, right? Right??
