A long time ago, if I didn’t finish my time sheets, they would suspend my direct deposit and mail me a physical paycheck instead.

If it got really bad, they would do the direct deposit thing to my creative resource manager … she literally sat down next to every creative and made them finish their time sheets in front of her.

I’m literally up at 2am updating my time sheet just so this doesn’t happen to me as we speak, omg.

Here me out but I actually liked that at an IPG agency I was at 😬 forced me to do them in I forgot and not too much time passed so you aren’t having to remember from a month ago, and it wasn’t personal.

The current agency I’m at sends an email every week if you don’t do them telling you you’ve gotten a strike and if you get too many strikes you might not be eligible for a raise, bonus, or promotion, which is fucked up to me.

I'm sorry...what?! What is mail jail? Also, yikes almighty to them suspending direct deposit or withholding promotions/raises b/c of timesheets.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
