Looking for a new agency. If the new one offers “unlimited" vacation days, is it possible to negotiate a fixed number of days instead?

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

I want to do something nice for my parents who never vacation. I got them tickets to the anthem and was thinking of getting them a car service to a restaurant then to concert and then to hotel. What restaurant and hotel would you recommend? Thinking something nice and good atmosphere with good wine list. Filomena or Chez Billy sud or like dabney, any other ideas? Then st Regis maybe?

My supervising partner keeps encouraging me to take vacation time. Everyone else in my group has taken several vacations recently.
However, my hours hit rock bottom for several months at the beginning of Covid. It is impossible for me to reach my annual target this year. I have the ability to bill 50+ hours over my monthly target now.
I feel like higher up management may disagree with my boss’s outlook, but I am burning out. Thoughts?

Creative extroverts? I shifted away from design and into strategy because I am highly extroverted and didn't see anyone like myself in creative at my internships. Now I'm second-guessing it.

Agency fish who have their yearly reviews soon, whatcha thinking? I chatted with a few coworkers who have theirs coming up... a lot of them seem concerned about how much leverage they will have with rising inflation, economic downturn, and rising layoffs.

For those in the same boat, what are you hoping for? If you get a merit or promotional offer - did you plan on negotiating? Or are you going to take what you get and try to stay under the radar just in case layoffs are coming your way?

I was recently asked this question during an interview. Couldn't really think of a great answer. So I'm curious…what is the most important thing you've learned working at an agency?

I just thought of an award-winning idea for an open brief. I know it’s award-winning cause I’m not a silly head. Is it weird to let my boss (who will be evaluating all competing ideas) know, or let them figure it out for themselves, cause they’re not a silly head either.
