Rant: anyone other creatives get sh*t from men on the account side in regards to your OOO days? I put my ooo days in cals way in advance (also it’s the project management team job to resource accordingly) and then give a reminder in a meeting but am met with sassy comments like “oh that’s news to me” or “wow I need your ooo package” sorry I saved my ooo days for the summer and have comp days from working multiple weekends. Needed to get that out, okay bratty rant over.

100% bring up with your manager, peacefully, in a 1:1. “I’ve been following XYZ steps for OOO and wanted to make sure that meets your expectation and our team’s protocol, bc I’ve been getting some pushback from members of the team. I always make sure there is coverage and I have an OOO package sent 2 days before I’m out. I want to set good examples for wlb and follow our process, but the team pushback is giving me some stress! Can you help us level set the protocol without pointing fingers at anyone in particular?”

Agree w the above poster, this should be a red alert to a seasoned manager. If my team ever offer to bite into their PTO I shut it down immediately, and if there’s a squeeze it’s my job to raise with clients and reprioritize work — not someone’s peer to give them sass.

Sounds like you’re doing everything right. I’m guessing they’re relatively junior…Account Sup? Director and above should be setting a better work/life balance example… even if optically (ie, shouldn’t make those comments). I’d actually mention this to your or their boss, because that’s a bad look for the Account team. Most GADs I know wouldn’t let that fly.

And yes, I actually had a short-lived manager who said something similar to me. I was really taken aback by the snide remark, but now that I’m more seasoned I know how petty and unbecoming of a VP-level it was.

Yes! I did all the time. The best part was when that same account person didn't know my leaving date and was surprised I wouldn't come in afterward that date.

Wow my creatives don’t even tell me when they’re taking days off so hey they should be grateful they’re even getting the heads up

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

I‘ve been in a relationship for 2 years, and my avoidant tendencies flare up every so often when I feel let down by my SO — e.g., usually when he’s blanked on something he should have done to make me feel more supported in work or social contexts. He knows this about me and supports me wholeheartedly as I continue to work through it — but I know I can be quite cold and distant in these rare but painful moments. How do others work through this, if at all?
