Time sheet codes: The honest version
Yawn… is it that time already? An anonymous agency minion meditates on the timesheet codes adland actually needs.
CODE: NOMNOT223 – Waiting five minutes for the office microwave to be free, only to wait 2,789 more minutes because apparently even nuclear radiation can’t seem to warm Tessa’s leftover keto tacos to the appropriate temperature.
CODE: WHO889 – Celebrating the birthday of the new guy whose name you don’t know. Also: office cake. Also: immediate regret.
CODE: BLUB657 – Sitting on the toilet on the basement level mumbling the words ‘Fuckityfuckfuckfuckfuckargghhh’.
I remember a time when juniors actually wanted to do good work. Doing something like this is never conducive to good work.
Congratulations – your sense of humour bypass was a complete success.
PON101 – Wondering how the AF a minion in agency land gets “overtime” – times must have really changed…….. 🙂
Sent Regional CEO timesheet screengrabs of staff after three weeks, working on a bank. Cc’d local MD and HR.
Everyone in creative had over 90 hrs for every week and no days off. Mentioned freelance and maybe at least buy dinner or lunch.
Ended up buying take-away myself.
