It has been 3 months since I’m back again in advertising agency. And I’m actually back to my former office, the company that I worked with for two years. If it hadn’t a different position offered to me, I wouldn’t have been here. Why? Well, I had spent my two years here doing job that I didn’t like. At all.
The first seven months was in client service team where I handle an account of one of the company’s clients. It was scary and overrated. In a rude way; I was client’s slave and treated like one. I’m not saying there wasn’t a good time back then. I was glad that I had a supportive team and very helpful. I thanked to that.After seven months working without passion and soul, I was offer a position in a different department, as a junior strategic planner. It looked like it was a promising job, well.. only for the first 2 months. The rest 9 months, my job changed (again) to a newspaper collector. The challenge was gone and so was my soul.
Anyway, what I was telling you above is not the point why I’m writing this at the first place. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, that two years in an advertising agency wasn’t bad, I had some troubles in the same office back then, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Not until someone, recently, told me the analogy for client. I’m sure everybody have heard someone said that client is like a king. But I don’t know if anybody have heard someone said that client is a God. Bite me! All the sudden I felt like the world was going to end any minute. I was told that protest was prohibited because the client is a God, and I should’ve done whatever they said and asked for instead.
I was speechless. It was the most absurd thing I’ve ever learn about. Very Devastating.
Alright, I don’t need to elaborate further more, because I know my God.
Do you?
