DDB Chicago posted ‘we’re hiring!’ today. For the same creative roles they just laid off.The press DDB would’ve gotten for being the first agency to bring people back? But instead they humiliated those people with this tone. Really sad!!!!!

Isn’t it illegal to lay people off and then hire for the same roles?

Yes, wtf are they doing?

This is the most insensitive bullshit in the history of advertising. This is the agency under Paul, Britt, etc. His do you think the people you just laid off feel seeing your childish high school exclamation points?

I just moved teams within my agency, and had the jarring realization that every single person on the day-to-day business (across account, strategy, and creative, 12+ ppl) is white. I am also white.

I’m getting the chance to hire somebody new for the team. Hopefully you can see where I’m going with this: how do I talk to HR - who clearly does not recognize this is a thing, or doesn’t consider it a problem - about the need to find some POC candidates for this role and in general?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people.
