I'm in this broken glass-eating biz for over 40 years. Half of it working for The Man, half of it working for The Self. Lack o' bennies aside, I much prefer the latter. Of my experiences among the former, one long term gig (or almost 10 of it's 12 years) was awesome — because in that case, The Man was also The Mensch. But then a former Bain exec came on board as co-CEO, trashed the agency culture, pushed out the founder and other two principals, and eventually sold the company to Publici.
