For those who send meetings with vague titles such as “brand/agency Update”, “Quick Connect on brand”, and the like… WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PUT SOME LEVEL OF CONTEXT IN THE INVITE?!? You end up freaking out your staff most times over nothing and it’s seriously a mental health challenge.

Sure, it’s nice to give some context but calling that a mental health challenge is offensive to mental health challenges. Let’s not degrade that word.

We all should! There is literally zero reason not to give at least THAT amount of context

Should you mention side hustle work in an interview? Not gaining transferable skills in my current role but have been doing freelance work on the side that is highly applicable.

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 .
