@72 peeps, please explain who was doing the sage cleanse? Those who were fired? Or those who did the firing? Either way, sounds like an immature act of FU to the opposing party. I am a big sager—at home, not as a public demonstration of spite.

Maybe we should all let it go

Coming from Canada it always blows my mind how cavalier the US is in appropriating indigenous traditions (assuming the people whose idea it was to burn sage weren’t Native American).

Canada is by no means perfect (we’re only just starting to grapple with our legacy of anti-indigenous racism) but I would hope that if an agency tried to pull this in Toronto more than a few employees would call them out on making a joke out of smudging.

Seeing the ECDs run around the agency with sage after being let go is painful to see honestly. Like it’s one big joke to everyone. Be better guys.

@freelance1 I can confirm every agency I’ve worked at has paid ECDs they have hired a minimum of $300k base. A few were maybe promoted within and then not given an immediate raise but that’s about the going rate from a holding company agency standpoint anyway.

Unpopular opinion but I would imagine this was hard on everyone, including those who weren’t let go. Probably just a poor attempt at lightening the mood and getting rid of sad “energy”...not the ghosts of 72ers past. But yea, not the best look

Is there anything we can do? We should report this to adage and ad week, maybe drop a line to their clients? They deserve to be put on blast for this and face repercussions from the community. Such disgusting behavior

this is in poor taste, but might have good intentions. The layoffs were the result of losing General Mills which was a nightmare client that the entire office spent 2 years bending over backward to try and make the relationship work. Losing them and losing those people is devastating but I’m guessing this was an attempt to lighten the mood and point out the bright side of not trying to save a doomed and idiotic client anymore

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
