For all the people on the layoffs out there:

Stay strong.

Is it weird to work at a place where you were laid off due to corona? If they’re hiring, is it weird to reach out? Left on good terms.

I’ve been consistently sleeping between 10-11 hours/day. Not sure I fell into this habit since my layoff, or what. Recently got my MMJ card and do 613mg CBD/35mgTHC before bed, which is making me sleep really good. This started December/January during unemployment. Should I be concerned?

Just got laid off but am holding onto God’s promise. Instead of wallowing and being bitter, I know I can trust Him to be faithful! God always has a plan and is always right on time. ✨

Do we get a severance package for getting laid off due to chargeability? If so, how much?

Is ACN recruiting on hold and/or have/had layoffs? I interviewed but things then just stopped.

I’ve been laid off and, as I embark on my job search, I’d like to keep my marketing skills sharp. Any recommendations on must read books, or resources?

I was just laid off from two companies last week as a technical recruiter. I have two LinkedIn recruiter seats. Any ideas on how to utilize that for extra money in the interim prior to my next offer and start date which could be month(s)?

any telltale signs of layoffs in tiger?

Have you heard of any companies/ ad agencies giving a list of titles and ages of those who were laid-off, to demonstrate that age is not a factor in layoffs? (List is given to laid-off people over 40)

If I was laid off from an agency, can I ever apply for a job there again?

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

Coworker got fired because they stole my clients! We have a policy stating that the realtor who initiated the contact should be the one closing the deal to give them a fair chance. I feel bad but they should have read the policy...

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Hey all - I wanted to ask if anyone has ever felt that things were not going to work out. I was a consultant for a T3 consulting firm and, despite excellent reviews was laid off without warning. I went to a startup like company in Texas and was under an abusive boss where I worked over 85+ hours and could not afford an apartment. I left to keep my sanity. I am told that I am highly skilled and have the capacity to be one of the best but I keep failing. I am 26 and my career feels like purgatory.

Anyone know of any senior strategy openings? Just got laid off and would greatly appreciate any leads.

Hello any employment lawyer here, got fired from a job and is asked to have the signed release form when I already signed their termination letter and they want a witness to sign it.

How do you not let a layoff continue to effect your confidence. I am noticing that I’m self-eliminating as I apply for jobs because now I am telling myself that I’m “not good at my job”.

Hey 👋 is it advisable to invest in real estate / buying my first home with all the looming uncertainty with brexit ?

Any recommendations on a gym membership that can be used in multiple locations for a decent price? (lifetime, planet fitness, LA fitness...etc)

Pros and cons between equity partner vs. non equity partner? Thank you!

For people who have been to client sites in the past few months, has your client required you to get tested weekly for Covid? I’ve been vaccinated, but I don’t know if getting tested is routine or overkill?

I’m currently actively interviewing. I had a second round with my top company on Monday and it felt good and I haven’t heard back. I emailed the recruiter on Monday and followed up today but haven’t heard back. There’s apparently another round. I’m expecting an offer tomorrow from another company, and gave a final round with another company on Friday. I really want the top company but I’m concerned with the lack of communication. Is there anything else I can do? Should I let this go?

How’s everyone enjoying the spring weather? Any ladies interested in taking a walk in Central Park?

What are the least racist English speaking countries? Hear Canada is pretty bad despite a sizeable Asian population. Looking into moving out of the US due to gun violence and white Christian nationalism. Unfortunately, I can’t speak any Asian languages so Asia’s out of the question.

Starting a new job tomorrow! Any tips or recommendations to do on your first day/week?

Average starting salary for a patient-facing role in a virtual healthcare startup?

Hi can you advertise here? I teach private piano-flute and violin lessons online

I want to invite my father to visit me in US for a few weeks that I would pay for. Do I need to fill and provide a I-134 Affidavit of Support form too for his interview?

Hi all! I'm a recent grad from a top tier acting school and am looking for some advice to break into the industry. Curious to hear from those of you on the road, how have you made progress in your acting careers? Especially how were you able to catch the eye of an agent? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Friends. I’m starting my first medicated IUI cycle soon and I’m nervous about what it will be like. Can anyone share what your experiences were like on Letrozole, and if you had any side effects? Thanks!

What do you think about the loop (non-tech)? I really don’t think it told much about who I really am at work. I felt that asking me the really small details of everything actually missed a huge chunk of what I do and makes me a valuable leader. I had to spend a few interviews going into the finest details of products’ features in my past companies where my role, past or future, has nothing to do with product. It felt like testing a professional swimmer how fast they run 100m. How did you feel?

Divorced or separated moms: how did you ultimately make the decision to leave the relationship knowing it will devastate your children?

For senior strategists and directors of strategy, what is something you wish your juniors would do without you having to ask?

Trying to think of campaigns for beverages that aren’t soda or alcohol. Anything come to mind? For example, if Lacroix did advertising, they would fit the bill.

Any thoughts on MRY of late?

Any writers here report to ACDs who aren’t writers? Does this make sense?

Having a chat with the head recruiter from one of my dream agencies this aft. How do you guys prepare for those kinds of conversations?

Anyone heard about Sullivan in NYC?

Looking for advice. I started a new job in Oct. and it’s been painfully slow. I’ve just now been put on my 2nd project, plus haven’t connected with anyone at the agency or the work as a whole. I just got offered a long term freelance gig with some former colleagues and know the work and the colleagues will be awesome. I’ll also be making in 4 months what I would make in a year at my salaried gig. Should I jump ship for the freelance job or stick w/ stability? What are some factors to consider?

Heard layoffs rolling at SapientRazorfish. How you all doing over there??

What would be the worst way to die ?

Who’s seen a scrolling template they liked?

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

What happens to your 401k when you switch agencies?

Diet Madison Ave - they've changed quite a bit since the early days of witch-hunting. Anyone know if they got sued?

Opinions on going from agency to in-house? 1.5 years into my first job and might have a good opportunity. I am open to just working in-house but have no experience. I heard its better pay and benefits

After starting a new job, did you receive a better offer? If so, did you stay at your current job or leave for the other opportunity?
