Hi fishes! I volunteer with The Art of Good, a creative collective helping small businesses affected by the pandemic. They are seeking a little help from a media professional. Need an SEM POV for a small business looking to change their name and relaunch their brand. This is non-paid. More about giving back while in-between gigs. :) If you can help out or want to learn more, please reach out to me via LinkedIN. Thank you!! www.linkedin.com/in/karenkohn/

Not sure if you are asking whether you can be let go for not doing enough work or whether you can be let go if your employer does not have enough work to give you. But either way, the answer is yes.

Someone’s paranoid.
You can get let go for anything!
Yes, you should be asking for work when you’re slow.
I do daily.
Yes, if your client isn’t bringing in enough projects/ money to staff you, you can be let go. As others mentioned and it sounds like you’re already doing this, make sure you’re asking to assist on other accounts when you have the bandwidth. It’ll help you round out your portfolio, show that you’re a team player, and ensure that you have value across other accounts (if the one you’re staffed to isn’t cutting it).
When I was junior I had a client breach contract to take work in-house, and it helped that I worked closely assisting with other accounts. When the client left, they were able to pivot me to a new business. I kept my job, was eventually promoted and learned a lot. Hang in there, if you put in the work it’ll pay off!
