Everyone else at Omnicom agencies told to clear desks for open seating? Nowhere to store anything. Pack every single personal item up and carry it back and forth ever day. Mandated by big brother, no choice from agency leadership. We have plenty of seating at Deutsch…

Easy solution. Just don’t go home and sleep at your desk every night.

I question the long term viability of this plan. Office Services isn’t going to let you camp at a desk. And even if you rebook it every day, someone is eventually going to reserve it right out from under you.

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 asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. 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 .
