Do the executive layoffs at mccann health mean that pharma is now hurting too? (Asking for a friend who just moved into pharma after avoiding it for 5 years ok it’s me)

I think the “executive layoffs” at McCann health were a way to clean house - getting rid of the higher ups who weren’t really pulling their weight to save “lower level” jobs and remove bloated dead weight. Layoff is a nice sentiment but - probably more of a firing/reckoning tbh, but painted as a lay-off given Covid and to allow those impacted to save some face and believe their release wasn’t personal (but it was).

Yes sometimes agencies do get it right and remove those with the least to lose rather then cutting 20-30 people who really rely on the biweekly paycheck and benefits . Plus how many more executive global chief officers does one agency really need ?

I’m so confused.... I only heard of June and that she resigned and moved back to Australia??? Didn’t get a sense that it was a lay-off at all...

Someone on another thread said two other C-suite members got laid off the same day as June but I don't remember hearing anything about that. Not sure if it's true, the person saying it doesn't work at McCann Health. I also got the impression June just didn't want to go back to the states and there were no hard feelings.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!
