What is your best work hack/tip? Mine is recommending adding an extra day of PTO after you get back from a vacation,a "staycation" day if you will. I've done this the last few years I feel like the transition from break to work hits less.

Taking an extra day off of work is not a “hack.” It’s just taking another day off.

Was referring to creative VP! Didn’t think your comment was rude. :)

The George Costanza method. Walk around stressed all the time and people will assume you’re too busy for extra assignments. It’s worked beautifully for me for the last 4 years.

I do this frequently, especially if taking a late flight home so I can maximize my time on my trip. Definitely would not consider this a "hack."

I completely agree and have been doing the same for many years. It gives you pause to reset before diving in to work, especially if you're returning from another time zone. It's also saved me on a couple occasions when my return flight was delayed.

Exactly this! Early in my career I never thought to do this. It was so hard logging in early if the previous days travel ended late at night.

Our company is considering offering 401K employer match. We are about 200 employees venture backed company. We have about 60% participation mostly the non HCEs and only some key employees contribute. We always pass top heavy test and wpassed the 2019 ADP/ACP test. We are aggressively hiring and project there will be increase in participation, particularly if we offer the match. Given this information would it make sense to continue with a traditional 401k plan or go with safe Harbor plan?

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 .

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
