That’s the way of the corporate and I’m really bad at this art. I’ve seen people being good at this really go places though. Just my view of things, could be different from yours and others. Just look at it with that lens and see if it is indeed like that, otherwise throw it away.

Depends what’s driving the deadline. If it’s a media placement, the client has bought the media, something has to run. With print media, you can often get extensions (some pubs charge a penalty). If it’s an experiential trade show installation or an event of some sort, there usually isn’t a lot of wiggle room.

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.

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 asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. 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 .

1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?
