Dis a rivier vol kak wat jy praat. Jou blouvis. Jou verlepte ou doos.
Jou pa se perd de dubbelde stupplede poespiel.

Lekker, lekker. Fok al die negatief taal. Hulle is net jaloors. Ek is ‘n ou ECD wat die selfde kak praat toe ek ‘n ECD rol gekry. Die mense hier kan dit nie vat nie. Jy kan sien ek praat Engels by die hius en skryf in Afrikaans net om kak te maak. Veels geluk. Miskien kan jy my ‘n bietjie werk stuur want ek is te oud om in die bedryf te werk. Totsiens piele mense.

The less you get. Less money (you fall behind the industry average ‘cause they pay less). And less respect: they routinely hire people instead of promoting them. Now Andy & Shane are getting the Ben Welsh treatment.
Some things never change.

This is all a moot point. Everyone knows who the real leader of the creative department is over there.

Here’s the truth.
I’ve never met these guys but I know they will do better in their jobs than you will in yours. All of you.
You’re welcome.
T.O.

Refreshing to see ‘newschool’ and freelance being promoted for once. Well done guys and M&C, a step in the right direction I’m sure.

Trigger warning?
I was merely pointing out that in your argument about being taken seriously in the creative communications industry, was ironic, given your misspelling.

Yikes… not bad but not ECD level by any means… unfortunately they won’t last long … I wish them luck though

Get a grip. Comparing an advertising creative team to sporting prodigies and geniuses of literary writing is embarrassing!

You’re probably the one who wouldn’t sign Ronaldo because he hadn’t played in the Premier League. Or publish Harry Potter because dear JK she’d never written before. You probably laugh at new jr creatives concepts and then are secretly jealous. Frankly, I’m amazed anyone takes you seriously…

They seem a little light-on for this role. Not too sure why you’d hire these guys for the top job when they’ve only been CD’s for 18 months. I know I wouldn’t take them seriously.
