Expect the rebranding of several agencies to hide loses, and the usually nonsensical org chart shuffle at the top, followed quickly by a reduction of about 30%.

My fear are cuts to PH agencies to help mitigate the destruction in Publicis general agencies.

Exactly, I have this fear too

I was busy as hell for the first month of WFH But it’s definitely slowing down. I haven’t taken any time off this year.

Yes

Any PH agencies have any cuts or layoffs yet?

How?

AD1 you’ve made this comment twice in this thread. Care to elaborate?

Didn’t realize.

Absolutely. I already know one place that’s laid off 10% of workers and are doing rolling furloughs.

Nothing like making fun of people for not understanding an acronym lol

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

Struggling with a potential opportunity - I’ve been at my current agency for about 7 months, and I’m indifferent to the job - don’t hate the work, but don’t love it either. My old CW partner is asking me to interview for another agency and a possible promotion if I make the jump. But I don’t want to screw over my current team/not sure if 7 months on a gig looks bad. Any thoughts or opinions?
