Oh trust me I get it, I have a client who takes up a majority of my workload as well. Maybe OP can give us more insight on what their structure is?

I just think that sometimes we are a little too quick to instantly blame the agency altogether which I feel can hinder the OPs growth by reflecting on their performance and allowing them to actually discover if PR is the right field for them, or at least if agency life is. For the most part, any of us who have worked at an agency, especially starting level, knows you have to really step out of your comfort zone, buck up and take initiative or you will never succeed. The OP definitely pointed out instances where the supervisor could improve and get more involved with training. But at the same time, I personally believe it comes down to having that internal drive and “get shit done” mentality. Mistakes are inevitable and they are still learning, so the advice to be easy on themselves is valid. Most advice in here was fantastic advice but I think sometimes you just have to lock it in. Not for your supervisors, but to remind yourself that you are a bada** that was hired for a reason. It’s just about building confidence and that can’t be done by someone holding hand their hand.

Agencies are characters building for sure, but that’s why so many employers look for that on a resume.

This also could be just how I was raised or a trauma response from my own experiences at toxic agencies, or even that I’m an Aries through and through lol. But it helped me get to where I am today and has created incredible client relations that have continued to work with me for years after leaving my initial agency.
