And, the layoffs begin.

Three friends included in the Anomaly chopping block.

Seven consultant friends with cancelled projects this month and the “foreseeable future until the virus is contained.”

I suspect the Anomaly layoffs are not in fact a direct result of coronavirus. I hate to say it, but I think they took advantage of the opportunity to use this as an excuse. They’ve been struggling since before the pandemic and given client payment terms, etc it’s hard to believe that so many layoffs and pay cuts were caused by this relatively recent development.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe there will be repercussions for talent as this plays out. Specifically for production, agencies that don’t have a diversified client base, etc. My agency also has travel clients (cruise line, numerous hotels, booking site, airline). So while their spending has been impacted and forecasts must be adjusted, to have it be the sole driver of immediate layoffs and pay cuts is a stretch. And they’re still keeping us busy helping address the crisis in other ways. The situation sucks regardless. I hope those impacted are able to land elsewhere quickly.

A lot of industries are being impacted. No amount of advertising can reduce the panic and paranoia. Not to mention you sadly have people, like the photo below, shaming companies for trying to hire.

I hope those impacted bounce back soon.

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here.

The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching.

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.
