Yep, the CD printed the contract I signed and used it to spank me. Be careful.

All good here. Just make sure to do freelance on your personal computer, not the one given to you by your FT agency.

No, but I hope you're keeping resources for each separate/keeping a clean trail if you've got non-competes in either contact.

Nope.

I do, I’ve been working 2 gigs for an since the pandemic started.

Tips: if you can get one on a different coast and always research holding companies for each agencies. Don’t double dip in the same family.

Block times out on your calendar for main or base account if possible, I add first day to set expectations and call it “dog walk” or “lunch”

Getting a lower level position is sometimes easier to check in and out of (media buyer) is very easy for me to finish up quick and get up to speed quickly.

Don’t brag about it to anyone and take a deep breathe before every all to focus on the account you’re dialing into.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Why do project managers get off on fire drills? Like literally laugh about it. I find it pretty f’d up since the creatives are the ones actually making the work and having to race to get it done. Also, in the case, the “fire drill” was their fault.
