Why do ad agencies still list “flexible hours” when it means nights and weekends? I’m trying to move but every listing sounds like chaos. I want something sustainable. How do you spot real balance?

Flexible hours mean you can be flexible when you need pto

I would say you decide what’s flexible or see what flexible means to them! It’s no different from companies who say unlimited PTO! However, does that mean you can spontaneously spend a month off in Italy? I’m sure it’s rules around it.

It’s endemic to the industry. Only way to avoid it is get out or go client side.

You look outside advertising for balance or else you don’t need a lot of sleep and do an hour of yoga or meditation daily. Advertising can be fun but it’s chaos mostly.

Hi All,

I joined
Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?
