As a manager, I’d say raise your hand and flag that you have capacity. Good chance someone on another account is drowning and could use support. The bad part of that is, in my experience you tend to wind up staying on the account you’re helping out on long after your existing accounts pick up again. But at the end of the day it keeps you billable, and therefore more likely the stay employed.

Wow that never happens to me…

If you have the half-day Friday option, GTFO and relish in the daylight (or just take half the day off anyway and start a trend). Otherwise, I really liked when my manager would give the team weekly learning projects when things were slow. We were Motion Graphics so he’d show us a film/animation element like the “jump cut,” then give us a week to create our own version for like a show and tell.
