Anyone interested in creating a co-operative ad agency? With the mass layoffs and mergers I think it’s time to create an agency that puts good creative first and is owned by the talented people that make all the large agencies millions. Thoughts?

I’m in LA, it’s a no brainer in principle. Need a rainmaker to get clients; an operations layer; and creative talent. And some sort of flexible and equitable business framework.

Are we thinking about an agency only from the creative perspective? Or thinking multiple aspects like paid media, marketplaces, etc?

I was thinking multiple aspects, but honestly focusing on one or two things that are done well and expanding through organic growth would probably be ideal for building a strong foundation.

I’m down.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

TELUS culture is one of the strongest aspects of Telus.

Telus is one of the most friendly and encouraging companies to work for. Telus doesn't layoff unless it has too (Telus will place you elsewhere instead). Telus is one of those workplaces that people stay for decades and refer their families and friends. You will not be disappointed at Telus if positive work environment is important to you.

I took a product management course this year and it felt really good and different from the day to day of Talent Acquisition but I couldn’t help but wonder if it was the wrong time for this considering the state of tech. I got laid off due to economic impact recently and would appreciate any tips on how best to pivot careers to product as I am beginning to think that the only sustainable path for a recruiter is to start a business of your own.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
