Anyone ever double dip at two agencies in the same holding company? I had the opportunity and wussed out. Didn’t want to burn bridges, even though I could totally handle it.

You didn’t “wuss out.” You were wise.

I’ll never double or triple within the same holding company. HC’s often use one payroll company for all their agencies within the country where you live. And it isn’t worth the risk of getting caught.

Unless one of them hires you through a staffing agency

You did wuss out. What are bridges there for if not to be burned? Cash the check, do good work, become creatively ungovernable. This isn’t the model UN. Grab as much as you can while the getting is good.

Just my opinion, but this attitude has lead to a preponderance of terrible, client-pleasing work being made. Also, “tough guy”? What are you in the Maltese Falcon bub?

NEVER double dip for the same holding company! Got busted doing that years ago. Got caught at the back end, just as FL (former BBDO) 1 described.

It was ages ago—played dumb, made up some excuse and stopped it immediately.

At most HCs you can’t. The system will bounce you if you’re W2 in both places. One way around that would be to 1099 the second agency through an LLC or other. Just as long as you’re using an EIN and not your SS#.

Two, yes. Three, tough. Four, ultimate commitment+not full-schedule expectations. Five, never. Although I know people.
