I left a brutally honest, anonymous review on Glassdoor about my toxic ex-agency, and the CEO just sent me a passive-aggressive message on LinkedIn saying the industry is small. He didn't explicitly a...

I’ve been applying for jobs & not getting even an interview because everyone says I’m overqualified - almost 50 woman with 27 years. I’m trying to convey my experience in my resume for breadth and so...

Curious where people land on this… if a manager puts a 1:1 on the calendar, who should own building the agenda? I’ve always operated under the mindset that whoever calls the meeting owns the structur...

When you get laid off how long do you hold a grudge? My friend was laid off from a major shoe brand and she gets irritated when any of her friends wears the brand.

Check out this new Spotify app icon! I have to imagine it’s promoting Drake’s new album, but I must admit it’s not 100% clear. If it is, I LOVE that idea, but it has to be clearer than that from the c...

We decided to skip Memorial Day marketing this year and just honor the fallen. I see so much out there in bad taste. Like this one - but betting their stuff is always in bad taste. Did you see anythin...

The fastest way for a brand to look old is trying too hard to sound young. A lot of “Gen Z marketing” feels like a corporate focus group discovered memes six months late. Not sure who’s really gettin...

I’ve noticed that every Sunday around 4 PM, my chest gets incredibly tight, and I start getting a headache just thinking about Monday’s status meeting. I love the actual work of marketing, but the tox...

My company loves to talk about DEI on our social media, but our leadership team is the least diverse group of people I’ve ever seen. As a person of color in the department, I’m constantly asked to con...

I am officially begging my team to stop putting “it's giving” and “no cap” into the copy for our 50+ B2B logistics audience. Our 22-year-old coordinator thinks it makes the brand look human and fresh....

I just took a job doing marketing for a company that manufactures industrial valves, and I am struggling to find the story here. I went from fashion where everything was aesthetic to a world where the...

If there was a new labor law what would you wa t it to enforce? I am guessing people will choose no tracking, because they feel it is unfair to be watched.

Hot take: Giving non-designers access to Canva and Webflow was the worst thing to ever happen to brand consistency. Our sales team is out here building their own pitch decks with neon pink gradients a...

Would you tell your friends or business colleague if all their content is starting to sound like generic AI content? I have a friend who has gone overboard on social posts with heavy AI jargon. Would ...

I am expected to travel to our annual user conference next weekend, work 14-hour days managing the registration booth and making content, and I’m getting zero extra comp time for it. Leadership treats...

I received an offer and accepted.. but having doubts about the environment and leadership. Is it too late to ask the hiring manager process type questions about the role? I.e. how are projects and di...

Is it just my agency, or is closing time at 5 PM actually just the start of Phase Two? I see my Slack icons stay green until 9 PM every single night, and if I log off at a normal hour, I feel an incre...

I have one person in my org who always makes me feel weak. I don’t think they mean to, or maybe they do. I think it is because I have worked with everybody else forever, and this particular person has...

Elite tweet from ALDI lol. How do you think their leadership felt about that? Is any impression a good impression?
