Articles about how a large agency is struggling fascinate me as they always lay off hundreds of people yet refuse to make meaningful changes at the top. Instead of mass layoffs maybe replace department heads and leadership teams? And maybe stop hiring the same five people? 🙄 I get that the C-suite won’t fire themselves but the board should know this.

This industry is gorbage. All those high-paid execs are raccoons scavenging for scraps in the trash. And the rest of us are just insects who get to feast on their sh*t.

Yes, I’m saying it was due to the merger but know for a fact it was not always due to role redundancy. I’ve heard of several instances when it was a matter of replacing with a trusted head.

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.
