I was let go without notice about eight months ago. Now, my former manager is reaching out to me to see if I would be interested in returning. I do need a job, but should I trust this opportunity?

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?

Why is it that so many us of hate our jobs in this industry?

The hours? The creative frustration? The clients?
