Advice: Was recently laid off from my role at a big agency. Should I post on Glassdoor about my racist experience with them as my employer to warn others about them? How do I move forward?

Publically putting them on blast usually gets you hit by blowback. Do what I do: spread the news in your own network, help other black folk out by letting them know what's up

Thank you! I’m writing this all down - I feel inspired by this!

I was recently laid off as well. I understand your frustration however I wouldn't advise that you go immediately to Glassdoor to air your grievances; quite often the company may try to figure out who posted the review and it could lead to more bad blood. You have great energy; use it for moving forward in your career now. I've left an agency for a similar reason; it was a rough experience but I'm better because of it. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk, always happy to listen.

I know it’s tough. I’m not downplaying your feelings. You deserve to feel what you are feeling. This industry nuts! Find a safe place to vent. But I highly recommend not posting anything on Glassdoor. I know that feeling because I was recently laid off from a big agency as well. It still doesn’t feel right how I was let go…I was pissed!

No. They'll know who you are. Share far & deep in your personal network. Land the next gig. By then some of the vitriol will evaporate and you'll be better able to speak on this.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

We get it, ghosting happens. But has it ever happened to you repeatedly by the same person? Cashmere Agency in LA calls me relentlessly and then ghosts me just as relentlessly.
