I have been getting calls from someone who introduces herself as an employee in my company from US office. She tells me she is visiting India for a meeting and her outlook is not working here, so she asks me to share contact numbers of some of senior partners in other teams. I am confused on what to do? I have been avoiding her calls since past few days. She told me she got my number by mistake as she asked for a contact from transport team in the same name.

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
