I had a talented planner in my team at one of the biggest media agencies in the world. He was worth his weight in gold and did the work of 2-3x people at a time to show he was good enough. Instead my partner dismissed him despite promoting several terrible people and seemed to think this was justified.

Furthermore, this same agency has white men all hired from the previous same agency as head of digital, chief client officer and chief product officer (Digital). How on earth have these three managed to keep their job when the same agency under these three peoples leadership has lost over $1bn in media billings in the past 18 months without a single lay off.

Become a partner myself - I will only promote on merit.
