Decided to switch industries lately and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my sanity. Worked under several marketing and PR agencies in the past decade. I can say with confidence that the marketing bosses and coworkers alike have been by far the most self-important, backstabbing, two-faced, manipulative, sociopathic, narcissistic, incompetent lot of people and the most toxic workplaces I’ve ever encountered. For some reason marketing often attracts the most egotistic yet unqualified types with minimal actual professional abilities who can’t walk the talk, but instead report to instigating the most nonsensical and petty workplace politics.
