I’ve lost the passion I once had for my job (account) due to the complete chaos on the account (client & agency). Every other day someone is fired on the acct. Any tips on how to get my mojo back?

Honestly. Leave. I was in your spot and suddenly my head was on the chopping block. Recovering from a lost mojo is one thing, recovering from a lay off is much worse.

I agree. You need to start thinking of your getaway strategy quick. I was at DTAS and quickly learned that work/client/ agency were not going to be a good fit. I saw the writings on the wall. low and behold a month after I left the layoffs started.

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior).

Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

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 .
