Heard BBH NY laid off 1/3 of the agency today. Mostly women and/or POC. 😬

The agency is run by two high profile women so it’s probably a good assumption they made the decisions.

Wow.

POC=Last ones in and first ones out the door. Nothing surprising there.

Stop crying wolf every time a woman or POC gets laid off

Not actually true that they pick the names. Even though it would make sense.

Did leadership or anyone take pay cuts? Heard Publicis was encouraging that

Just wait. It’s coming. Soon.

Since this was posted in the “advertising “ bowl and not the BBH bowl, it’s open to everyone to respond. Stop telling people how to react/respond/think, jeez! Signed, person who actually worked at BBH (loved it) a number of years ago with some of the most amazing women I’ve met in advertising. I simply can’t imagine having the audacity to tell people to eff off with their opinions if they differ from mine.

Seconding OP

I got am offer from UST as cloud infrastructure services-lead 1 for noida location and client is Maersk. Want to know about client and work environment. Any secret layoff is going within company..my joining date is 10th November.UST Tata Consultancy

I was downsized by this company 6 years ago and had worked for them for 8 years prior. I am now in talks with them about another oppertunity but they do not want to let me start back with those 8 years. I looked up standard practice and according to the standards at the Society of Human Resources Management HR should give me my time back cause I was downsized (not fired for cause and I did not quit). What should I do?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
