My company is talking about adding tracking software to our computers. Is it legal for them to do this? Do I have any recourse?

How many of you were direct admits to Partnership? From other consulting firms, or from industry? Was it a lateral move, or a step up/down?

The reason I ask is: I’m a Y3 Director at Big 4, always been a consultant and probably 2 years away from Partner. I have an offer from industry for VP at a F50 company, but am wondering about how difficult it’d be to boomerang back if it doesn’t work out.

TIA

Hi ,

Can anyone suggest about fitment round .

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.

Thoughts?

Any CLE recommendations for junior litigators to get familiar with court rules, cycle of a case, etc.? Anything helps!

How are things looking in LA? Any dates set to go back into the office? I’m currently in NYC and considering a job over there

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.

Got laid off. Just started at the agency. Was so excited because it’s a great shop. Now what?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Those that have pivoted/are considering pivoting out of advertising, what are you doing now/interested in doing?

Whats 72andSunny’s NYC office like at the moment? Doing well or flailing like the rest of us? Been trying to get my foot in the door there for a while

I know I’m too “senior” to justify feeling down, inadequate, and like a failure for not selling a campaign today but I do. Usually this stuff just rolls off me but today it isn’t. Is it because the blows hit harder while remote? Anyone else out there feel the same lately?

Anyone still being asked to come into the office for pitches?
