My brother worked in ad agencies, and this is the opposite of what he said. Tons of drinking and just generally bad behavior which would only be tolerated in the worst silicon valley startups. He moved to the startup world because it has a healthier work culture.
- ishjoh 7y agoOne of my first jobs out of college was for a digital agency. Shortly after I started we were bought by a very large ad agency and it was shocking how casual alcohol and drug use were at our parent company. Luckily we were insulated enough that it didn't permeant our culture until after I left.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoWe are surrounded by functional alcoholics (10% in the US drink most of the booze). They naturally tend toward career paths that support their behavior.
- ekianjo 7y ago90% of people surrounded by 10% ? The word "surrounded" seems inappropriate.
- Spooky23 7y agoMaybe a better word could have been chosen. But in perspective, almost every team on average has at least one person with an alcohol problem of some sort.
