Some truly oblivious senior management. For many years, I had the pleasure of working with someone who I truly respect and admire. ENTER THE DREADED REORG, which left me stuck with a vindictive, competitive, retaliatory (in spite of company policy to the contrary) and yes, libelous "supervisor." Vindictive is one thing. Vindictive, ignorant and over one's head is quite another. Much of the account staff too, seems to be "grandfathered" in, with nary a clue as to how to write a decent creative brief or devise a strategy. In fact, they couldn't sell an idea if you paid them. Pun intended. The truth? it's a tragedy that good and loyal employees are shown the door due to "low numbers," when said low numbers are the direct result of laziness and incompetence among a small, but apparently bulletproof group of people who spend most of their time attempting to cover one another's butts.. An old, old story.
