“At will” termination on job offers. Is this common? Is this usually discussed to be different?

Nope, it’s a New York State employment law. ALL employees are “at will.”

“At Will” termination means they can fire you on the spot with no notice for any reason as long as it’s not illegal. For example: discrimination racial or otherwise (you would need to have solid proof though).

I talked to a Labor Rights Lawyer before about this and they said one of the most commonly reported reasons for getting fired or quitting is “not getting along with their boss”. 😅 I guess it goes both ways since you can quit without giving notice as well. The argument here of course is that you’d be burning bridges but I think (at least in the agency world) agencies are just as susceptible to bad press and bad WOM from former employees/freelancers.

Means you can quit when you want & without notice, and your employer can also terminate you (but of course, there needs to be valid business reasons)

Actually there doesn’t need to be a valid business reason. As long as the reason is not illegal.

2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
