Do you think remote hires are less safe when layoffs come or is that an old school mentality?

If you bring the most value out of the team, doesn’t matter where you are located. Someone great and remote is better than some mediocre and local.

Also, some agencies are open but not making employees go in. So essentially almost everyone is remote because very few are actually going in.

Ignorant and shortsighted but yea the old guard hate employees having autonomy and rely on presentism over results.

I think because agencies are already trying to force us back into the office for no reason it shows that there’s a prioritization for employees who want to be in office. I would not be surprised if that unfortunately means remote hires will be less safe.

Old school? Permanent remote hires started like 2 years ago. The way this industry thinks and acts, yeah I’d bet they’re the first to go. Unless of course they’re friends with the C-Suite.

It is all about business. Being in the office does not protect you. I have seen remote employees survive the harshest layoff conditions. Because they could run the business if they had to, in some ways they are most reliable because they have a very strong track record of delivering and getting work done at many levels, they’ve proven themselves with management and no one has to worry about them during tough times.

If your agency is primarily in person then yes. If people are still hybrid or working from home most of the time not as much.

No. I think its going to be the same for everyone.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time?

I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
