So brutal. I’ve never heard of a company deciding on a 401k match yearly and only if the employee is still employed on Dec 31. Even more incentive to have year-end layoffs. And since they get no Xmas break now, they’ll be fired in person with a 0 401k match bonus (and possibly, no severance.) Fun stuff over there next year, it sounds like.

I am thrilled too. As an ex OMC employee who loathes them to my very soul - I was literally going to (agency spy style) send screen shots of all the turmoil in these bowls anonymously to the editors at adweek and adage. Glad I don't have to.

Can someone share a de-paywalked link? The normal platform I use isn’t working.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
