11.25 to make it look more legit

Always log all the hours you work. That’s how they’ll know if the team is understaffed or stretched too thin.

Whether or not they they do anything about it a different story.

11 hours

likefunny

Always enter the hours worked, no matter if it’s 8, 12 or 14. If you ever say you need help, more staff, are overworked, etc, one of the first things they’ll do is pull up your timesheets. And, if it’s regularly 40 hours you can’t say well, it’s really 70. Also, clients should be billed for your actual time.

Again this doesn’t matter if you’re a creative or any other department. This is truly regardless.

Not sure what you’re asking here - but 11 hours? You don’t have to stop billing at 8 hours. I say this only because our project manager just had to explain this to our team (again).

11 hours. If I work 18, I put down 18.

Ah, the timesheet guilt. I don't miss it.

Brand Planner 1: Dept heads complete a spreadsheet indicating the percentage of a person’s time spent on a client. Doesn’t tally # of hours. It’s great not to have to do timesheets. But it sucks to not be able to represent true numbers of hours invested to show when it’s way more than 8 or 10 a day (and weekends).

like

Do people actually put less hours on their timesheets on purpose? I’ve always erred on the side of too many hours than not enough. Figure if I’m way out of scope then someone from the account team will let me know and bill client whatever is palatable. 3 years in and that’s never happened yet…

The truth? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH

That’s all great in theory but when I have to account for ideas that hit me in the shower or when I’m lying in bed thinking about a project at 2AM, it’s natural to assume there will be some degree of guesswork involved. And I’m not saying I artificially inflate my numbers, but if I’m trying to recall if I spent 2.5 hours or 3 hours on a task on a given day, I’ll more likely round up. Besides any number of hours I write down probably pales in comparison to the actual time I spend thinking about a campaign. 🤷‍♂️

Hello all, need some advice. Am currently working for a government consulting agency, but wishing to leave due to the way the project is being managed...I am in at least 4-5 hours of meetings a day, so barely have time to prepare for demos, preparation of slides for the client, nevermind being able to write decent stories(tickets)... Usually have to rush writing requirements, steps, etc, ...
So I have been looking around.
