Crash out warning: WHY IN THE FK WOULD ANYONE (IN THEIR RIGHT MIND) SEND SUCH A CRYPTIC INVITE WITH NO INFORMATION WHATSOEVER WITH EVERYTHING THATS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

At least there is acknowledgement from Linda “Hello Everyone,

It has come to my attention that this meeting invite is causing some anxiety. I want to assure you that it is just a time for us all to spend a few minutes together at the end of a very tough week. We are looking forward to seeing you and apologize for any undue stress the invite may have caused.”

Glad it "came to her attention," given "attention" doesn't seem to have been paid to any single damn aspect of the past week.

Hugs to the both of you.

I will say it’s definitely not “just you”, so many of my coworkers and friends on both sides are feeling this. I’ve reached out to many people to check in on them this week and have multiple text threads with current and former coworkers and they all echo the same sentiment. People are scared, worried, disgusted, and truly disappointed in how this was rolled out.

Reach out to your people, as shitty as this all is we are truly in this together (I hate corporate speak but my brain is fried from this week).

Lmao the power of connectivity at its finest

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account.
