Hello all! This is not technically 100% about a bad client but I’d love to hear some good opinions!

Following. Sounds interesting. My only advice is to somehow quantify the waste of money this arrangement is creating. Usually money speaks loudest.

Working on general strategies and PR. Feedback from client has been amazing and we really love working together. The company received great reviews from main media outlets.
They decided to bring onboard another agency just for retail marketing.
The new agencies is stepping in our work, not doing retail marking but PR, reaching out to same media my Team is working on, not providing report, not providing written strategy, avoiding any contact with us when we ask for a Gantt chart or something similar to show to who they are sending pitch and when! Yesterday received an email that said : “we can’t track all our email to outlets, but are hundreds and for sure we are going to talk to all the one you are planing to work on”

Now.... what the hell my client have in mind? How can I manage a client that is totally blind? How can I make them truly understand that this other agency is unprofessional, unorganized and not having respect for my firm or them?
I already jumped into a long meeting with them but it looks like they can’t take the reality! They are in denial!!!!

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Follow up q… how strict is your agency about starting work before contracts are signed?

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
