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 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 .

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
