Let’s say your company suddenly implemented a policy where every employee has to submit a weekly report outlining everything they did—to “justify their existence.” And if you don’t? It’s considered a resignation. How would you react? On one hand, I get tracking productivity, but this feels more like a power move than anything useful. Would you play along and document every email, meeting, and task just to keep the peace? Push back and risk being seen as difficult? Or take it as a sign to start job hunting? Curious how you’d handle a demand like this.

My husband had to do this. It was an eyeroll when we got the email but it was honestly easy to do because he does so much during the week.

I would do it. I work all week. I have no problem explaining what I was working on. They provide a paycheck, if they ask what for, I’ll tell them. I understand not liking Musk and not liking Trump but I don’t understand the hysteria over this. Just answer the email and be done with it. It’s a weekly check not hourly. A weekly check in isn’t micromanaging.

Okay then tell me 5 things you did, right now. Otherwise I’m going to go over your bosses head and have you fired.

Agree- not a good way to motivate.
I picked up something from this Musk request that might be a consideration to help careers.

How much do supervisors really know what their direct reports do from week to week? How can supervisors advocate for us (for promotions, new work, bonuses) if they don’t know.

Working remotely is another challenge to see the work of direct reports and what they are doing. I remember a few “star” Talents in an agency who would talk about what they were working on almost all the time. They always seemed like they were more engaged with their teams, clients and producing better work. They gained visibility. Their supervisor knew what they were doing along with the supervisor’s colleagues. They did get the promotions, placed on good accounts and higher bonuses. May be it’s time to think how we advocate for ourselves and be proactive to enhance our opportunities at work.
The other piece of this Musk/Trump request is that they saw employees had not opened their emails in months. This was a way for them to see how real this is. This would not happen in the private sector. You would be found out in a month and be gone.

I would personally love the opportunity to do this, and I would be every single thing that was actually a waste of time and how it could have been better spent. All the meetings that could have been emails, finally a place to put that! The approach of it is kind of off, but the idea of having to tell people what you do at work all the time? Not a big deal to me.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.

Which was better? I have almost complete autonomy over what happens with small biz, but getting to focus on projects for more than an hour/month sounds nice.

I was promised a promotion, then was told I wasn’t getting promoted, started applying to other places, fought for it and ended up getting promoted and a raise. I was just offered a job at another agency for $15k higher than the raise I just got. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer and was told to stop working so now I have to cover all of her expenses as well as mine and my husband’s (he’s back in school). I’d like to stay at my current agency but NEED the $. How do I navigate this?

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.
