Thoughts on being asked to work on a holiday? How do you say no?

Shit. Literally the entire job market in advertising is all in NYC again. Looks like I shouldn't have moved away when I did. The bets were placed on black in the COVID gamble, and its red for us big city refugees I guess... (I'm stuck now, I can never move back with my young fam). All jokes aside, doesn't it feel like the rest of the country just vanished for Ad jobs? Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Miami, LA even (more than the rest sure). Boston is literally completely dead. WTF happened?

Can’t be just me. Doesn’t it feel gross to see all the LinkedIn posts from people in Cannes after so many years of constant layoffs? 1 day in and so over it.

Don't expect Chiat LA to give the layoffs the same 'Disruptive' LinkedIn treatment they gave their bronze lion wins. Leadership is always eager to humanize the agency when holding a trophy, but dead silent when handing out pink slips.

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.
