With so many layoffs and the strange uncertainty of this industry right now—is anyone scared to death?

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

Last time you thought you were going to get fired?

any insight into the environment at Grant Thornton? I have heard they are having layoffs and their reviews on Glassdoor have been less than stellar lately (ex. “aggressive” “egocentric” atmosphere).

Unfortunately was just laid off. I’m taking this as an opportunity to look forward to new experiences and people to work with. If anyone knows of any Producer gigs, I’m now available. I’m agency side.

And the AG was fired because she didn't agree with the dictator. This is insane. Oh and she is a "traitor".

Deloitte tax projecting double digit (percentage) decrease to top and bottom line for FY21 - at least our office / region. Based on that, layoffs seem necessary. Fortunate that the folks laid off hit the market first; if the revenue decrease is truly that significant, have to imagine all other firms will be making the same difficult decisions.

So, just what did Nick Emery do to get fired? ‘Prank gone wrong on zoom’ is all I’m hearing

More layoffs at VaynerMedia this week. I've survived 3 rounds in less than a year.... maybe this time I start looking for another job?

Someone form PwC answer this - my roommate working for the cyber security group on the west coast is almost always worried about getting fired. 9mths with ur firm and no project. Is it usual??

Considering joining Deloitte GPS but been hearing/reading about layoffs. Does anyone know if this situation has improved? Or is it still a risky move to make the jump? Thanks!

Got laid off a few months ago, now got a job with a 12% raise at the big FB. Dreams do come true you guys, don't give up ❤️

What does a standard/typical severance package look like? My agency had some layoffs recently and so I’m trying to be mindful.

Recently got a raise (putting me at 68k). Turned down an offer for 75k to stick it out and company said they can’t match. Management sup was laid off. Account director just quit. Need more $$. ADVICE?

Serious question: What's the reasoning behind all the Deloitte layoffs? End of Fiscal Year, Sells are bad, just curious....

Ah the great Ad Agency Bubble, your agency is doing great, growing exponentially then boom, clients are lost, there are layoffs and there are no raises/promotions for a year. What do you do jump ship?

I’ve been laid off due to lost business. Struggling to find junior strategist positions and agencies that hire at that level, not many do. Should I stick with what I enjoy or consider account?

Anyone know how deep PwC is going with the layoffs in August? I know it was 10-15% for most groups in June so just wondering if it will be smaller since they just went so deep.

I also just got laid off! My last day is in 2 weeks. How do I tell someone who just texted me for some deliverables that I don’t want to do them because I’m laid off?

I didn’t watch the big game ads, am I going to be fired tomorrow ??

Healthcare folks: if you could go to any Publicis Health agency, where and why?

Went to top 20 ugrad, 3.4 GPA. Joined a top Strat boutique for a year, then had to leave to care for my sick mother. I spent 3 years at home working in a retail store. 740 GMAT. Schools to target?

Fishes a piece of advice. Even if you are laid off, pivot.

i‘m just so anxious and have no motivation for work. Want to take PTO.But not sure our company will have second round of lay-off .So I’m a little bit worried whether to use PTO. Keep hearing bad news about layoffs. Don’t know how to adjust myself

Is resume paper worth it? Have an interview on Thursday for internal strategy manager role. I’m planning to bring extra copies of cover letter / resume, should I print on fancier paper?

Hi ladies - anybody got tips on staying fit while working ~60 hour weeks? I’ve gained 30 lbs 😢and I think sitting at my computer 10+ hrs a day plus stress eating is a contributor. Don’t want to lose my job but also don’t want to sacrifice my health anymore.

Attn: NYC We can do it. Let's use this pause to change our culture for the better. When the cities reopen, let's all agree to not needlessly honk at every light.

Trump said he wasn't briefed on Russia. He said he wasn't briefed on covid. He didn't know about the white supremacists tweet. The "I'm oblivious" excuse is giving him so much mileage.

What's a good excuse at the interview for jumping between two Big 4 firms? If both were in the same location.
