Anyone else have weird “official” hours like 9-6 or 8:30-5:30? Or is this just an Omnicom agencies thing?

What’s weird about those hours?

Are you held to them? That’s weirder imo.

(I think I’m warped from a career in global tho. What are working hours even…)

Well, the emails don’t stop. So would look like a slacker if I shut off an hour early.

My previous agency was 8:30-5:30 but most days I took a shorter lunch and signed off at 5. I now work at an agency with 9-6 hours and we’re expected to stick to them. I would much rather start a earlier and get out earlier.

Every agency I’ve worked at had official hours, but there wasn’t really an enforcement. I had an ACD who was weird about me coming in after 9 AM though.

9-6 is weird? Isn't that most agencies? Could I be getting out earlier?

Yes. You could.

There's a lady at work who's probably very smart and good at her job but i feel like she's so dumb sometimes because she always has ideas about how we can reduce our workload by moving it to another team offshore which is obviously great for the company because they have to pay less money for that work but it could mean that our jobs become redundant eventually. Our company has had these sort of transformations in the past and i just don't understand how she doesn't see this
