It’s 100% in your contract that you can’t do the same thing you do for your agency for anyone else. If you get caught you can get fired for it – with cause, which means no notice no severance. Make sure that if you do it, you don’t pick up work from an agency within the same holding company (payroll see’s your name twice you’re busted) also avoid direct competitor brands to your agency’s accounts. If you do get caught you might be able to squeak by with a warning because it wasn’t a direct competitor.

Curious to know if this has been done with contracts offered by staffing agencies like VitaminT, Creative Niche, Creative Circle, etc.

Read your contract.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.

I’m really trying to make the switch to experiential/PR so any help/lead on agencies is appreciated 😶
