Folks I'm really sad - like, REALLY sad. Can we all just have ONE thread where we come together and agree that there is no justification for the people who murdered Brian Sicknick?

Please?

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 .
