The only good news is that you can get unemployment while furloughed. That’s a maximum of $504 (NY) a week plus $600 from the stimulus.

Things we would like to know - TRANSPARENCY: how many people were affected? How much of Leadership and Ops was furloughed? How are we to transition our work if we don’t know who else is furloughed?

The atrocious amount of work that’s been put on us due to furloughs and unclear transition plans is unheard of. This could’ve been dealt with much better by senior leadership with actual transparency and fair communication

Sorry to hear that 360i. We still have some creative positions open after making some recent hires and winning some more business. Shout out if you want an interview.

Hang in there. We will get through this! 🙏

Would be nice if people hiring could drop info in here. A spreadsheet of those hiring or something more direct. A lot of very talented people at 360i/Dentsu had a bad day, any leads would be appreciated.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
