I was let go as a JR.,6 weeks after joining the agency...they said it was something about the account not having money haha but I was fresh outta college and likely had no idea what I was doing. 🤷‍♀️

It happens to all of us, chalk it up to a learning moment and don’t get discouraged.

*AAEs are wonderful! Thank you for always putting together & printing out the hot sheet, emailing me billing codes, setting up meetings, and supporting the day-to-day of the account people. 🙏 I appreciate you!

Really? As an AAE? Yikes. What happened? They usually don’t fire entry level because you’re not expensive. Was it something particular?

Been there. It may sting for a while. You also might get lucky and find something better that pays more. Here’s to the latter friend. Hang in there.

I’ve been there. It sucks, but now you now what your strengths and weaknesses are. Go forth and get an even better job after a few days of decompressing. Sign up for unemployment ASAP since it takes time to process

Better to feel the sting of a layoff early in your career than late like myself. It’s been 2 years and I’m still a bit bitter about the situation. As Its one of the worst things that can happen to you professionally you’ll learn from it and see the signs earlier next time.
