Ad agencies need to do better with the amount of severance offered. R/GA gave 1 week per year and they seemed proud of themselves for doing even that.

Tech companies are offering 16 weeks and we’re fighting for a week or 2, it’s pathetic.

Rga can’t even lay people off with respect and you want them to give better severance? Let’s start with basic human decency first. It’s free

Meta probably makes in one week what RGA makes in a year. That’s why they can offer more during layoffs.

It sounds like you have a problem with the law, not ad agencies.

Honest question for y’all in this thread, if you have been laid off recently, what did that package look like?

Mine wasn't recent but I got 2 weeks severance and 2 months health care covered. The severance policy at my current agency is the same, and once you hit two years you get an additional week for every year after. But if you're ECD or above you get 3-4 months

Droga (owned by a consultancy) also gave 1 week per year.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
