Would be nice if companies could put their egos aside and let us stay home while the virus seems to clearly be running rampant again. Even as someone who’s vaccinated I do not feel comfortable commuting into an office when Delta and Lambda are on the rise. Sure it’s nice to “be together” and to “just swing by people’s desks and ask questions.” But it’s also nice to not end up in the hospital or be exposed to anti-maskers on your commute 🥴

Remember all those “You will…” ads from AT&T in the 90s (Tom Selleck was v/o)? Even back then I recalled the promise of working from anywhere. Now we’ve proven we can, and have a legitimate reason to consider it, but Corporate America doesn’t want us to.

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 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 .
