Has anyone ever gotten fired and switched jobs only to have the boss who fired them show up at the new agency they’re at? I can only imagine it not going well? Or fresh new start maybe? Do tell

Stuck in a weird limbo where I want to leave my job more than anything but grateful that I have one at all with all the layoffs in our industry. It's a new kind of trapped. Anyone else feels the same?

Anyone expecting layoffs due to COVID-19? There’s an indefinite hiring freeze and most promotions and have been paused. 👀

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Just found out I’m getting laid off in two weeks. How do I stay motivated to do work until then?

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

Which agencies are going through layoffs

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

Laid off in August. Just wrapped a 4 round intrvw w a big name agency... but another candidate got the offer. ISO of agencies hiring. I’m happy to share a portfolio and conversation with all in NYC.

Hi does schneider Electric layoff people.. How is job security?

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?
Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

Hey guys! I was just laid off from my job as a SDR right before my promotion to CSM. Im looking to get into customer on-boarding or a CSM role. I know on-boarding is more likely since I can start as entry level. Any tips or referrals?

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

Have you received the salary today? Got the mail now but no credit yet in account 😕

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.

I have a shown the same as gap for personal reasons in my resume.

Will i have any problem after joining this new MNC during background verification as per the standards?..

Really need your help if anyone has faced this situation or know anything on the same.

Thank you

As a Cybersecurity Analyst I make right under 80k in total compensation (62k Salary, 17k Bonus). I have two years of experience, an Associates in Networking and a Sec+ cert, does everyone feel like this is a fair compensation based off my credentials and experience?

Any idea of annual increment% in Maersk?

Hi Fishes, its urgent

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.

Just found my first grey hair. World’s smallest violin, I know...but still!!!

I cannot help but slightly look down on people who obsess over Marvel series like Avengers. Twilight series was more entertaining than those.

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.

I'm seeing a lot of social media posts from medical professionals disparaging people for not wearing masks. Maybe we should direct some of our outrage at the government and public health systems that have utterly failed its citizens

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

Has anyone tried LinkedIn Premium while on a job search? Is it worth it, would you recommend, and why?

Serious question - which one lasts longer: real Donald Trump or Marcel?

My partner has become rather dismissive and exclusionary. Noticed signs of this behavior in the past but lately Im seeing it more clearly

Whats the best way to handle? I want to keep the peace

Has anyone worked on the creative team for Hilton corporate? As someone who loves travel (and Hilton hotels) this always appealed to me. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on the reality of working there.

Tell me stories about your first days in advertising when you made no money so I feel better about myself for being overworked and broke. Thanks fam.

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

Do you ever let how well/poorly your day is going affect when you're interviewing someone? I've been in interviews where it's obvious the interviewer wants to get back to work asap

Sarah Thompson’s name is not on the list 🤔. Thoughts?

Do you guys touch type? How long did it take you to learn? lol

Just got promoted to ACD. Will be taking on more leadership roles. Any books, workshops, resources that helped you learn leadership skills?

Mccann creatives - what are the good groups?

Burnetters, what’s the story behind Britt Nolan leaving?

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

My new agency’s healthcare plan only has ONE physician in NYC listed as in-network... is a plan this limited the norm?!

As part of the interview process, a company is asking me to concept a 360 integrated campaign with presentations to multiple teams. Is this normal?
