Is it just me or has agency onboarding been reduced to just a slide deck? We used to have new team members shadow experienced ones and work in parallel until they were ready to work on their own, but now I'm getting called in to reassure angry clients and take over tactical level projects that were handed off to newly hired Account Supervisors who ran them into the ground.
Venting a bit, but checking to see what the new standard is across agencies.

Here is the context: Lately it became very obvious that the company is about to go public when they hired a securities attorney as the new GC.

What can I do to show my interest and get to learn what she is doing?

What law firm is your favorite for run of the mill employment issues in the US and internationally (India, Australia, UK, Germany, etc.).

So, who are you using and are you happy?

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Kind of love my main client. She lowkey texts me when she steps away from calls to pee.
