There are a lot of people posting on LinkedIn with screenshots of outreach from Omnicom recruiting, real people inside of Omnicom reaching out to hire people after they just mass fired talented experienced people? I don’t know anything about legal stuff like labor laws, but I know about morals and ethics.

They want to clean out the expensive, experienced people and bring in cheaper people. A tale as old as time. And if you’re waiting on the morals and ethics train to pull into large corporate structure station, remember that big companies are by and large only moral and ethical if it’s financially advantageous for them to be moral and ethical.

It’s simple, evil, capitalistic math. Lay off, then rehire immediately for the same roles at $25K less in salary than their predecessors who just got laid off.

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 .
