Senior leader resignation tips? I landed a brand side role with a big pay bump / benefits 🥹 Am currently in a leadership role at an agency reporting to my ceo.

Am considering offering 3 weeks notice given my relationships and reputation with the agency, my growing team and our largest clients. I don’t think my ceo would fire me on the spot or can match salary/benefits, but he will be very upset.

Any tips to navigate resignation?

Let’s talk benefits for layoffs… Someone I know is likely going to have their role eliminated and word on the street is that the holding companies are offering fair severance, but only one month of health benefits. Does this seem out of line? Twitter and Meta seem to be offering more, but maybe because those are big shakeups? Discuss…

Meta Laying People Off:
Here’s 15 weeks full pay severance, recruiting assistance and free benefits for 6 months.

You have 2 hours to leave WPP’s offices or you will be dragged out by security.

Why does the government cap us at $20,500 annual contribution to 401k? Why not let us give what we want?

I’ve been promised a promotion since Jan. ‘22, and each month it seems to get “delayed because of finance issues with client” (huge multinational corp.) and other issues with in house HR/finance depts. I absolutely love my job, my boss, perks, benefits, & it’s all remote. I can’t shake the feeling I’m being led on. Last update they gave was Oct. now they’re saying it won’t be until Dec. I’d hate to leave but I feel like it’s the only way to move up. All thoughts/similar experiences welcome. Thx.

This and many other labor strikes are unsurprisingly not getting any news attention.

Striking within our industry is possible and would greatly improve our collective bargaining ability.

I will never understand why we don’t organize amongst all the holding companies//agencies and demand better benefits, working conditions, and pay transparency. Every Q4 we all hold our breath to see what Scrooge ass agency is going to lay off half its staff. Why don’t we get a union?

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both. Either I love the job and I’m grossly underpaid or the job is totally mediocre but the money is great. Is it really possible to have it all or do I need to lower my standards? Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?
