Just got out of a meeting with a client. Talk about uncomfortable- they'd fired their director that morning and he ran in screaming at the team. They ended up calling security to kick him out!

Hey CF Peeps! As we put 2022 budget/budgeting to bed(ish)… curious as to the changing $ percentages divvied by practice that you mandate/are allowed… IE for every dollar in, how much as a % goes to immediate margin giveback, how much to strategy, how much to creative, how much to client service etc. Anyone actually get a line item for ops/finance? Is it different if you are media vs mass vs shopper vs CRM etc… Help us help you… help us 😋

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

Been 3 months since I joined Luxoft and I am assigned to a backward DXC project. The lead is oppressive and bossy. There is no work-life balance and 9:30 hours of work is not enough for them.

Maybe it's because I'm in tax, but I've never dealt with these unreasonable Partners people speak of. I've never been told I can't go on vacation, or I've never been yelled at for not being in the office long enough. I've also never been iced out because of one mistake here or there.

During my first year, I struggled, and the partners I worked with went out of their way to take their time with me to help me learn, as did some of the senior-level Associates.

Does anyone here work for any public accounting firms in the Charlotte area with a decent work life balance?
