Anyone else out there feel like they’re both 1. working harder and for longer hours than ever but also 2. about to be laid off regardless, given the looming economic constraint.

Oh, hell yeah. I’d love to rally, and say I’m “saving my job” or whatever. But our agency is getting treated like shit, on top of all the worldly anxiety. I did enough for me today. Whatever happens will happen.

Yes. Working under the most pressure I’ve ever had in my life, on par with the highest hours, while also coming to terms with the very real possibility that I’ll have to put the keys in the mailbox and move into my parent’s home. And they are right wing Trump lovers, so God help me.

I don’t think people are going to get laid off in the numbers everybody on this app is terrified of. If you work in consumer goods, your client still have to sell things and advertising still the way to do that sing with cars, tech, food. Your local stores and shops are closed, but everybody else is working from home. They need their numbers up. If they’re in marketing, there’s no other way for them to get those done by making ads of some sort

Yes.

FYI this is how most creative freelancers feel much of the time (when working)

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
