Never ceases to amaze me that you can work 60-70 hour weeks for months on end + weekends, then when you finally come to a slow 30~ hour week finance will throw a fit if you don’t hit 40.

I know we exist to bill hours, but god damn.

Let them know you stop each week when you hit 40 hours. See how they feel.

never mark a timesheet with less than 40 hours.

Except when you only have 20 hours of billable work and they blast you for spending too much time of the work you do have.

At my last job, they messed up our job codes so badly, that it looked like we were all unbillable for months. We had massive layoffs due to it.

Wow - sounds like the realm of Art Directors ((presumably in the advertising industry) is as convoluted as the stereotypic law firm, with billable hours, etc.

Aren't we all happy we have GLASSDOOR to 'vent' on ?!
