Have agencies been transparent about layoffs? My company is trying to keep it lowkey and people are only finding out through LinkedIn and rumours

Agencies definitely will let you know by releasing a huge PR piece the day before with headline “Impressive global expansion at [agency name] this year”

Oh I know.

CW that was my point

Which company?

I mean nobody wants to put layoff news out there if they can help it.

If you’re asking if they’ll send an agency-wide email telling everyone that there have been layoffs, then no way, that will never happen. I agree that in an ideal world they should, but optically they tend to avoid it. Layoffs are always found out via “rumors” by word of mouth. Maybe you’ll hear it directly from manager if you have a good one but don’t expect your CEO to communicate that to you via email.

If you do get an all-staff email it usually comes in the way of the words “adjustments” “restructuring” and my all-time fav “necessary changes to better align to our clients needs”

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
