We laid of a few lifers (30+ years) and it was financially a disaster. In fact, and I can’t prove this, but it seems like they survived a couple of rounds of lay-off just because it was costly.

After that, we changed the policy to 1 week/year and capped it at 6 months.

Yes. For my 5 years of service they offered 3 mos severance (back ~7yrs ago). My round consisted of 80% women, over 42yo, per the layoff list they handed me, with some young ones to offset (more) lawsuits (aka me & the 21yo secretary). Best thing that ever happened for my career-seriously! Good luck!

Can you request that- a lay-off list?? Never heard of anyone getting that before but a good idea to get your hands on one

Lol, my manager told me “we are sorry but you have 30 days notice bec blah blah. Your last day will be June 1.” It was April. He’s an idiot and bec of his 🦶 in 👄 I got my notice plus an extra month severance. I appreciated the notices though

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 .
