Hey CF Peeps! As we put 2022 budget/budgeting to bed(ish)… curious as to the changing $ percentages divvied by practice that you mandate/are allowed… IE for every dollar in, how much as a % goes to immediate margin giveback, how much to strategy, how much to creative, how much to client service etc. Anyone actually get a line item for ops/finance? Is it different if you are media vs mass vs shopper vs CRM etc… Help us help you… help us 😋

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
