Oof, that’s a rough one. I once saw someone accidentally email a client the wrong contract.. different company, different deal. Took hours to fix, and the client wasn’t happy. Safe to say, double-checking became the new office mantra after that.

Oh man that’s bad! Definitely becomes a new fear after something like that happens

Went to HR for a manager complaint but the resource manger scheduled the meeting and threw me under the bus. Note never talk to HR

Yeah I have definitely learned not to trust HR. Sorry you went through that!

Hi,

May I know what is a good salary for a R&D project engineer(2 YOE) in a semiconductor industry in Belgium?

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

Brand planners, how much time do you typically get when you’re on a new account writing a brief for a new integrated campaign? Do you find yourself having to negotiate/push back with account folks so you have the time to do it properly? Curious with shortening timelines these days how long you all have to think about a brand brief.
