Yes. Gaslighting, workload, gaslighting about workload, petty backbiting nonsense.

I was once in a situation where my colleagues and manager clearly just did not like me. They weren't outright mean but it was clear I was not part of the group. They shared a gender and ethnicity that was different from mine which Im not sure was the reason but it did cross my mind.

Yeaaaa def. Gaslighting and illegal manipulation. The person I was forced to work with abused me so bad it triggered the anxiety I developed from being a domestic violence victim. I was also too young at the time to know what I experienced was domestic violence so I eventually spiraled and was ridiculed by my family for leaving that job without a job lined up and was labeled as “crazy.” It was at IPG Mediabrands

Yes being blamed for other people’s mistakes, retaliation, twisting facts when jumping to conclusions, gaslighting.

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 .
