Queridos creativos hispanos, por favor todos los días sin y con cuarentena veo que trabajamos duro y hacemos las cosas bien hechas (a veces hacemos más de lo que nos piden) y a la nuestros compañeros les gusta ynos siguen usando. Está bien que nuestro trabajo sea reconocido pero por favor no sean tímidos en decir que necesitamos un salario decente tan cuál como todos los demás que más bien hacen menos y todavía les pagan. Hay que insistir no solo para el individuo pero para ayudarnos a todos!

Firms should really start lowering the mandatory retirement age in partnership agreements before these old out of touch partners drive the entire industry into the ground.

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher

Senior on a new engagement with new hires as staff plus an off shore team. I get IMs and emails all day from every direction and it’s getting overwhelming.

I’m delegating and taking extra time to coach the staff but I still feel like I gotta do everything myself.
