I love that feeling when… you align with your manager on how a deliverable will be structured and then spend weeks working on it and requesting feedback every other day, and they say it looks fine, and then you show it to a client and they hate it because the manager never set expectations despite said manager claiming they’ve reviewed & aligned it with the client, and then tells you after that they want to completely change the entire structure in 24 hrs … it’s just such a beautiful feeling ❤️

Trust but verify. Say why can’t we bring the client into our work in progress. Usually you have one trusted contact that understands you are showing them in progress work, they can push you in a good direction.

Yea. It is really frustrating. However, please note that Managers almost always have more on their plate than a person can do, so they do the only thing they can: "cut corners". Only thing you can really do is manage up and hope the manager isn't a dick and appreciates that

What?! Lmao

Are you me rn

Hello Fishes,

I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
