@CIM 1 sure did, said “we are actually here in conference room X at your office like we discussed” and she replied “oh that’s nice, I’m already dialed in in my office so I’m just going to stay here”

That client has zero respect

Not a client but I went for a job interview where I flew from NY to San Francisco only to video chat with people who sat in New York. 😬

Holy heck that is disrespectful.

Ok, three theories:
1. It's a power move, she's a bitch.
2. Girl has a nasty case of the zits/cold sore/black eye from bar fight the night before and is too embarrassed to see you in person.
3. Someone else from the client side was supposed to join that meeting and Client didn't know they didn't show.

I hope it's #2...

We had our direct client skip out on our annual media plan presentation to “clean the fish tank”. So disrespectful after working on that plan for a full month of 60 hour weeks...

Or it’s a financial move. Creatives are the scarce resources that need to be billable. They’re expendable, time wise, and less likely to say something dumb over a beer.

wooooooooooow

I once flew to Korea for a presentation. When we landed we were told the client had flown to NYC.

Also did a pitch in Moscow once. Got there and the client saw the opening slide and said "this isn't what we want" and immediately dropped the agency from the pitch. Not the same. But still a terrific waste of time and money.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?
