Lost 7th Gen and General Mills. Laid off over a third of the office today. That ship is sinking.

72 LA?

Ship is not sinking give me a break. The industry is sinking. 72NY is putting out great work.

Losing General Mills is a blessing in disguise.

My bigger issue is if Nicole got that full interview solely because of the halo top product placement, because THAT directly affected my life and mental state 😂

Are the layoffs considered "unignorable?”

40 people in NY, 20 in LA. Three clients lost between the two locations.

What is there to know? There were layoffs. As there have been at every other agency in America this past year. Lots of good people lost their jobs. It sucks. Our loss will be some other agency’s gain.

What exactly would you like to know beyond that?

I would guess getting laid off at 72 gets you into BBDO, Droga or W&K type agencies. You guys will be fine. Jeesh.

Aren’t these holding company damnations kind of dependent on agency and individual experience? I’ve been at 2 Omnicom agencies and the experience hasn’t been bad.

they’ve been letting people go in small increments for the past few months in order to “restructure creative blah blah blah!” Bullshit!

What clients?

Coors light is one

😢

Damn didn’t they just win GM like a year ago?

Related at all to MDC acquisition?

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea.

Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

@PWC is worst company for freshers.

Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
