Have y’all ever heard a COMPANY giving an employee 30 days notice and after those 30 days an employee is no longer with the company?

Yes it’s a polite way to fire people.

I offered this to someone once. Their skills and the company needs were no longer a fit, but I hoped to give them a bit of runway to wrap their projects, say goodbye to their coworkers, and start interviewing elsewhere.

haha, nahh. The “notice” was the severance. Something is better than nothing.

Does this come with severance that starts after the 30 days?

Yes, my company gave a CD everyone loved like 3 months notice. There just wasn’t money to keep him on anymore. Gave him time to find a position at another agency. Then a year and a half later they hired him back when they were able to.

My former agency gave a creative who was on a visa 2 months notice. The creative just stopped showing up to briefings. Can’t say I blame them for it but it created a big resource gap for the rest of us.

Happed to a friend of mine within the Groupe when we lost an account and they had no role left for this person. Fortunately, a need arose just as that time was coming up and was kept aboard.

It’s called “working notice” and typically comes with severance. Usually promoted by a big revenue loss or restructure.
Honestly, probably one of the more dignified ways of being let go vs “pack up your desk in 20 minutes and leave the hot cup of coffee behind”.

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....
