Don’t worry, it means nothing. I was laid off when I had 3 projects about to go into production. Logic plays no part in agwncy decisions.

I don’t think IPG does q4 layoffs. Get your billiability up before q1 though.

I once got laid off right before we kicked into production on one project while my last one was bringing home a One Show Pencil. Workload plays no factor into the equation.

Loss of the client whose pay keeps the light on.

I was in the middle of a huge report to the CMO no one else had access to yet promising the client it at 4pm. I was laid off at 2pm. (This was 2 yrs ago) & they shut my laptop off 10 min later soo in my opinion workload doesn’t mean anything

You never know. I barely had any work for the past few weeks and got laid off yesterday in another round of Covid related layoffs. I had been reassured by my boss that my position was safe 2.5 weeks before the layoff so I was getting mixed messages. I wish I had listened to my gut and started looking a few weeks ago

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.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

The cases are interesting, pay is fantastic, offices are beautiful, and the research resources are a big reason why I never want to leave. Sure there are partners/senior associates that don’t respect you or your time. That happens everywhere and would mean you need to move firms or sections. What am I missing?
