Creatives, If I work on site will I get to talk to my colleagues face to face? Or will all my comms be Slack channels and threads and emojis? I actually feel sorry for people who never had a chance to do it the old way. This is bad for the work, and also my brain. Also, check yourself: when you speak to a colleague IRL your tone of voice matters. Especially jf your camera is off. Chill.

It’s all slack and video meetings. Just like at home. Pointless

I go into the office to be in meetings on Teams all day with other agencies and my clients. We’re all in different cities. My team is somewhat local but I’ve also got freelancers on jobs and they’re remote. Long story short I go to the office for a wifi ping so Omnicom knows I was there and I don’t get fired because their quota was met.

I come to the office 2-3 days a week with ~75% of my colleagues and it’s fun and productive.

We are absolutely in creative huddles together a lot. No Teams meetings when we can be in the same space talking about the work.

Depends on the agency or team.

For example at FCB NY it’s mostly face to face, though certain days have more people working remote. But I have worked at agencies where the in-office days are just virtual meetings and I feel like an idiot being in an office.

Since 2020, we’ve all realized that we’re able to work digitally. Being in the office is cool but it’s all still digital. 2020 changed us entirely and with the new (younger) generation of workers emerging, IRL just feels forced.

Correct no face to face mostly teams meetings

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 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 .

I got a verbal offer from a WPP agency today. The role's budgeted salary is 5k less than my desired salary.
The recruiter can get me closer but still not at my desired salary. Otherwise - it would have to go through a long approval process with no guarantee that the salary would even be OK'd.
I'm coming from a small agency, so I could be wrong - but I don't want to sell myself short by accepting the first salary they offer. Do I have any room to negotiate? Or is that risky?
