V50 layoffs for lack of client work. Can anyone send recommendations for counsel to review a separation agreement? DM is appreciated. Any suggestions of specific things to request like extended website time?

They likely won’t make any changes but it would be good to try to make the non-disparagement clause mutual because it’s likely only your obligation as drafted. Also not a bad idea to ask for more severance and potentially more website time though you probably won’t get beyond what they initially offer.

Depends on the size of the severance and the circumstances. If it was potentially for reasons other than legitimate business reasons, definitely. If not, an employment lawyer could do a quick review for about $500-$1k. Either way, it can’t hurt to ask for more money or staying on longer. Also you should add a neutral reference clause.

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
