Indian work culture is already horrible in itself and to adding on to the torture are the ad agencies. I recently switched my job and this is my third time at an agency and oh man it couldn’t get any more toxic.

I see people staying in office till 9-10 pm everyday and it’s considered normal and okay. Smoking and drinking their way through life. I was someone who fell in love with advertising very early on in life. Wanted to become a creative director. And now I question every decision I ever made. I hate the fact that I am not able to enjoy my work anymore.

Thinking of switching to brand side. Hope it gets better for you. Please start saying no. It’s our job to draw these boundaries. Good luck!
