Found out today that my job is now at risk due to negative client feedback which was kept from me by my account director and managing partner. This feedback is now being used to push me out of the agency LOL

One negative comment and they are ready to push you out the door ? That sounds very unreasonable.

I've had clients request me off their account because they are so incompetent at the required skills needed to use our client and internal facing systems...some situations it's months and months of patience and retraining the client yet they refuse to really engage and hold up their side of the requirements per the contract. So in some cases I have had clients get mad at me for not caving in a doing it all for them. Which would be impossible since I have about 60 clients on my portfolio. I'm extremely patient and diplomatic but Stan firm with certain situations as they will take advantage if I offer to start doing absolutely everything for them. The worst ones are the only who go behind you back in request a new account manager when they know full week that is are not holding up their side of the agreement. But management rarely let clients go, so they shift the account to the next account manager and so it goes. And internally one keeps having to explain to support teams that you are no longer on the business.

BTDT. Start sharpening your resume and getting some external reviews (on linked in or something) from colleagues. And start applying. Once they come forward with the negative feedback nothing you do afterwards is enough.

It's time to leave that place. Not only is your client toxic, but your upper team is as well. I'm grateful to say that the clients who have made my career successful are the good ones – the ones who are human, respect boundaries, and work as part of a team. The bad ones only create anxiety and leave you with bad experiences. Nobody needs a bad and toxic client to grow.

Lets us discuss why Indian companies expects/forces/ us to work more than 9 hours but in timesheet we have to fill 8.
Managers schedule meeting after office hours and expects us to be available always.

Sorry to say this but I have seen only Indians who work extra hours. What's even funny is that the upper management laugh at foreigners who work exactly 8hours.

Should we not change our mentality?
What should we do to not follow this anymore?

Additional Posts in Account Management

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

I'm currently an SEO Analyst/Web Developer/Digital Marketer. Looking to be more client facing in the future. You think I have a chance in an Account Management role?

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
