CEO’s out there guaranteeing no Covid layoffs, cutting their own salaries and creating employee relief funds. Aside from employee videos, which leaders in advertising are stepping up with actions?

Richard has told our 6000 employees there won’t be layoffs and weekly has been hosting calls with employees from his home expressing his understanding for the challenges and calling staff “hero’s” and “his role models”. The commitment to engagement, clear empathy and recognition has been incredible to see. Also, the agency wide sentiment to “flex, care for loved ones and self first” along with a host of new support services for staff, parenting support groups, access to weekly situation updates and opportunities to Q&A directly with the WHO so that fact based information is readily accessible are all also unique IMO.

Klick has done a lot for their people and has also stated there will be no layoffs during or in the days after CV19 - they’ve created useful jobs for their non billable employees. I heard for instance that their travel team is doing FT education for the children of Klick employees through different age appropriate sessions throughout the day. 😳

Read that Publicis is offering to fly employees to their families if they choose to do that. Aside from the need to shelter in place, this is a nice gesture for folks that need to do it.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Any tips from women who had to take maternity leave while contracting?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
