When you show up to client site and no one from your team or client team is there, how okay is it for me to wfh for rest of the day? No one tells analysts when they're taking PTO or wfh I guess 🤷‍♀️

Tiny team: 6 of our people and like 5 client people I regularly see

Especially when I have literally actually zero work to do for this project today

So I'm just sitting here doing trainings that I could very well do at home 🙄

You feel awk calling your managers cell simply bc you're a junior resource? 🤔 I'd say get used to communicating comfortably with SM's, Partners and the like otherwise you're gonna struggle in this type of environment. Besides asking questions or efficient communication in general is never a bad thing.

That's what I thought but a precious SM sat me down once and told me I was not allowed to speak unless spoken to and that I always had to be the first one in and last one out since I was the most junior person there...I've been afraid of higher level people ever since and I really want a good review from this project so I might just deal with being alone today and leave at like 3

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
