They lost a ton of business in the KC pitch I bet

helpful

What pitch?

US only or Canada too?

Heard it was over 200 people

I heard 4% of the company globally

I’d bet money no one from the Kansas City office though.

KC was affected, rude

We just got a ton of work from VML

ANOTHER one??? That's CRAZY....That's the 4th or 5th one in a two years (2024 and Q1 2025). Geeez!

I am currently in the OPT grace period (about 15 days left) and was notified that I was selected in the second h1b lottery. I have no idea how this works. I don’t think my company can file by the end of the grace period. Does that mean I have to leave the country and return October 1? What other info do I need to know?

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 .

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
