It has been over two months since the mad media man has updated the blog with his version of "what grinds his gears." Well, with some new found time, I intend to make good of my promise to tell you reasons to encourage your offspring to stay far far away from media and advertising. My agency is a shell of a workplace right now. In my opinion, it is primarily caused by big egos that choose to do what THEY think is best and forcing their way vs doing what the clients want. In fact, sometimes I wonder if your salary is reversely correlated to how well you listen.

Why is it that every time that senior management talks to a client, they talk to us peons like we don't talk to them on a daily basis and know everything they have said to you. Oh and by the way, we also know that they think you are pompous and arrogant, but they didn't tell you that.

Here is my recommendation to you if you want to keep your business alive, stop listening to yourself talking and listen to your clients. Otherwise you will be listening to the unemployment clerk on how to fill out your form.
