If I don't get fired before the Xmas party I'm safe right? Like they won't fire me after the Xmas party unless I do something else. I figure they would've fired me b4 the party if they were going to

I've never been in a capacity to fire anyone, but I can't imagine going "shit, I was gonna fire this guy but the xmas party has already happened. Guess he's here another year!"

How large is your firm? Are you fully staffed through busy season? If you're staffed on engagements, I find it highly unlikely that you're fired before busy season. This late in the game it's virtually impossible to replace your production. Only way you'd be fired is if you're an actual risk to have on the engagement (like fraud concerns or something other than your work is just shitty but passable).

^i'd agree with this. If they need to let you go for business reasons, whether it's before or after Xmas party doesn't matter. Ya it's a dick move to do it after the party, but sometimes shit happens (HR was sick the week before when they were supposed to fire you, decision wasn't made from corporate until after, etc...). I think it has more to do with staffing. If you're not fully staffed through busy season I'd be worried.

Question for paid search experts who have big agency experienc (e.g. big 4, dentsu, etc.) - is it considered standard to use SKAG instead of STAG, and use alpha/beta structures?...even with the changes Google has made to phrase and exact match? The various agencies I've worked at (small agencies) never use that method.

If you were interviewing someone from a small agency and they said they didn't use those types of account structures, would you think they were inexperienced?

On another note, is it even worth mentioning this explicitly?
