Not sure if this is the case at other holding company agencies, but after a year of periodic layoffs, the company culture has become increasingly fear based.
I'm buffering up my emergency fund and have cleaned up my LinkedIn and resume, but it's tough to focus on client work when every client check in has the potential to be about budget cuts

how long it takes to start with project in global logic?

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

Question for those involved in pricing / P&L management: what is your overhead / cost / profit breakdown?

I’m curious to see how standard this is across agencies. For example, what I have seen is:

Overhead (including exec salaries) - 40%
Project Labor / Costs - 40%
Profit - 20%

What have you experienced?

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

Started as product manager in a start-up with a too nice culture- it's all groupthink and the product direction is suffering. Need to get people to be assertive without being an asshole- need advice

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

I have lost so many Friends and my social circle have reduced a lot after the work from home culture have started. Is it same for everyone? Or you guys keep in constant touch. Just wanted to know if anyone in the same boat.

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

Any one from corteva project? Please DM or comment

Why should I care if partners have no sense of urgency? Sending file to them for review is like throwing a stone into the ocean - I hear back after a week. Yes, I have communicated client deadline to them. Yes, they checked on me multiple times a week when the file is on my court.

What are the testing based client projects in Accenture which has API automation and new automation testing tools.

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Alrighty All, I posted a couple of months ago when I got laid off. I took some time to enjoy my summer and now it’s time to get back to work. During that time, I made the decision to relocate to the east coast, my new home is in Columbus Ohio! So…if anyone knows of or is hiring in the food contract management area or something where my skills could transfer, hit me up!

Anyone at Protiviti in their Cybersecurity consulting practice willing to chat? Looking to inquire about pay, culture, etc. Thanks!

Haha it's a mix of product management, project management, product development, consulting work, technical stuff, analytical stuff. Literally anything the project needs to succeed haha

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

I love my SO. We’ve been together for nearly a decade and are talking marriage. I know being with him though will require living far from my family. I love my family and dread the thought of being far from them. My SO has been transparent about wanting to return to his home country. I don’t want to lose him but I also dread being far from my family. What’s the right call here? Fwiw he’s lived in my home country for about a decade now but has been able to visit his pretty easily (cont)

Kind of love my main client. She lowkey texts me when she steps away from calls to pee.

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

My boss’ boss told me she wants to hire me to account Sup. I’ve been with the agency for three months. I know ppl will be mad they didn’t get it. Not sure if I should follow up?

What are some good practices during the sales phase of a potential project to execute before the contract is signed? Seems obvious but would love some ideas on standard operating procedures that help with seamlessly handing over a signed contract to the account team. For example, speaking to the potential client explicitly about their role in staying on schedule, reviewing scope creep consequences, etc.

Any success stories of moving from accounts to being a broadcast producer, how was the transition? Thnx

How often do scopes change? I thought it was normally on an annual basis with some exceptions but my CD is telling me they change constantly. Someone educate me…

What vendor do you use for cold direct mail lists?

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.

Sometimes it feels half my day is spent jumping through hoops to schedule and then reschedule meetings around senior managements’ calendars...only for them to be so late they miss the meeting anyways🙄

What are the key skills that one needs to master to become a Acct Sup? Is it always do it first before being promoted? Or is most of it learning once you’re in the role?

Any account managers in here for chemical sales? Want to learn more about it...

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
