We still do

DDB Chicago used to. But was something like $200 each. Not sure if they do anymore after the big account losses over the last few years.

We do but it’s very ad hoc and discretionary, not an official part of people’s comp packages.

Yes

MediaCom UK/Global did. Not sure about now though.

other than the first year of the pandemic, we’ve consistently got them. everyone, based on years at the agency, with a cap.

LA has (maybe i’m forgetting a year, but at least almost a decade)

Nothing since covid

We do, usually a few thousand at that level.

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
