Are timesheets something you can negotiate on a job offer?

No.
The process of how and why they use them goes well beyond you and their desire to hire you.
ECDs do them. Well, their assistants do…

And therein lies the answer.

No. Just do your timesheets. It’s not difficult.

Nope. Zero chance. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Negotiate money. PTO is another thing you can try for but even that is usually a tick tougher as it is standardized across the company. Get the coin. Nothing else matters.

Maybe if you can get an assistant but they’re pretty much what get money to the business so generally no, just do them it’s not that hard

No. Unless you are senior enough that you get a EA who does them.

You’re right, I should be an accountant.

Why would any agency want to hire someone who is seemingly too lazy to want to do a basic task like track their time? It’s gonna spark questions like… What else are you not going to want to do that your job requires of you? Also what value does not having to do timesheets add to your life? The fact this was even a thought is concerning ✋🏼🤣

Not as brazen as thinking people could have fun on fishbowl.

It’s something to ask about. If they’re an agency that charges by deliverable and not for time it makes for a different agency dynamic.

Lol no bc that’s how the agency gets paid who in turn pays you. I’ve seen varying levels of strictness on how timely you need to do them, but never seen anyone get out of them. Just fudge them to save time
