Go ahead and have fun with this one, but looking for real answers too. ‘Older’ creative here; my husband and I are starting to downsize.. close to retirement. Tossing stuff, donating, selling. But I’m stuck at a box of heavy awards. My first couple of Cannes lions, some one-show pencils, a slew of metal local awards. Too useless to donate. Too meaningless to sell. Too sentimental to toss. Scrap metal value? Melt down into coins and give the homeless? Serious though? What would you do?

Is it unprofessional to wear your previous agencies merch on camera at your current job for internal meetings (not client)? It’s just a long sleeve with the logo on the shoulder. Do people care/notice?

Got a bad performance review stating that my work is good but I’m too overly confident and hard to collaborate with. None of my peers nor my manager has told me this to my face at all in the past year, so I had no idea. Am I going to get fired anyway? Too confident as opposed to what???

Dear younger creatives: You don’t need to be funny or quirky on LinkedIn to get a job. I promise.

Why is it that so many us of hate our jobs in this industry? On paper, it pays pretty well, you get to make stuff and go on shoots etc. It’s not physically gruelling work and it’s not as dull as most office jobs. So what is it that makes us hate it so much? The hours? The creative frustration? The clients?
