How often do scopes change? I thought it was normally on an annual basis with some exceptions but my CD is telling me they change constantly. Someone educate me…

Thank you! Yeah our account is out of control but my CD was saying this was the case across all the clients in our department. It sounded off to me

Daily!

When I was on a certain Korean consumer electronics company (among other industries) we once finalized a scope for the calendar year 4 months into said year. And then for any changes we’d make an addendum like Version 1.1 etc.

As often as the wind blows. Try to stay close as you can. But you work with a semi Loose idea what they want locks in budget for agency and client marketing on their end- then you roll with the changing needs of the brand and opportunities

Should it change so much and so often that I can’t replace a role on my team until finance “checks”? Like it is strange to me that my team is clocking 45-50 hours a week but we’re stuck waiting for approval to fill a role when someone leaves?

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
