I also think it's important to realize everyone talks to everyone else at a small agency. It can't be helped. So I think your point about treating everyone the same is totally relevant. I also think before you hire other people to work at the firm, you should think about the last time your employees received raises. It can cause quite a stir to hire new folks while forgetting to compensate those that have worked there the longest first. Great post!

The yin-yang of small agency life always surprises me - Frequently considerate on some minor items and other, bigger ones, just go completely unnoticed. Hey Alexis -

Thanks so much for your comment. The yin-yang of small agency life always surprises me – Frequently considerate on some minor items and other, bigger ones, just go completely unnoticed.

I've worked at two smaller agencies in the past, and while there are definite benefits, you hammered home some of the persistent issues that can easily be fixed. I hope that small agency principals guilty of these issues can learn from their missteps -- and that this serves as a reminder to those who are doing it right! Excellent post.
