Has your agency faced layoffs so far this year? We haven't had any, but there are whispers and I'm getting a little nervous about my role.

Yes we had layoffs. My hours were cut.

I was laid off almost a year ago

we’ve only been hiring the last few months. don’t believe we had any layoffs. but we’re an independent.

It’s tough out there to not only land but keep clients. We did our layoffs last year. We spent most of last year getting back on track. Finally we landed a very large account that saved further layoffs. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees right now for advertising positions. The only guarantee is change. Those who pivot quickly and grow daily will survive. I wish it wasn’t like this right now. It’s tough on all levels.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
