Hearing of layoffs with some Chicago agencies. MSL...Porter...Ketchum...others? Sign of bad economy coming? Hate to sound skittish, but I lived through 2008

Do you have to return the sign on bonus if you get laid off, sign on period (2 years) has not yet passed. I would also like to know the firm's severance policy.

Best way to reduce taxes on severance pay? Receiving bonus and severance, tips for saving money. Open to charity etc. I’m afraid that most of this will go into taxes. I will max out my IRA.

I got a layoff notice this past Monday. I’m trying to not let it ruin the holiday spirit, but it’s hard to be cheerful with unemployment looming at the start of the year. Anyone else going through this too?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

Will there be layoffs at grip/dentsu? just saw that they’re folding the Grip agency brand 👀

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

Just got fired.. any opportunities out there in North America.

Strategy consultant, manager level ; experience in consumer markets: I heard technology sector is hiring. Open to relocation

If you get fired due to performance issues can you still file for unemployment? If so, will you get enough money for rent and food?

Hi Fishes, I've 5.7 YOE in digital marketing and i have an offer from PS for Senior Media Analyst Role in Digital Marketing Domain. After seeing all the layoff post i'm getting scared. It would be helpful if you could please let me know if anyone if fired from Digital Marketing Domain.

DOJ is Oct 31st, i dont have more time. Please comment if you know anyone from Digital Marketing.

Messed up at work and got hard feedback from my boss over email. I spoke to my boss about it and she said we’d discuss the feedback this coming week and to have a good weekend and don’t worry. I’m scared I’m getting fired but they wouldn’t tell me not to worry and to have a good weekend if I was being fried next week? It’s my first job out of college. My anxiety is through the roof :(

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Do layoffs actually benefit Indians who remain in the gc line because people who would be ahead in line are being laid off and can’t continue their gc application?

Can someone tell me what happened at Olive? Interested in the company, but I see many people on LinkedIn who worked there and then left after a short time. Were there layoffs?

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

What’s the most diabolical exit you or a colleague has had from a company? For context, I’m not talking necessarily on bad terms - just a savage exit that’s all

Does anybody else get frustrated when recruiters care about those who were effected by layoffs more than other job seekers? Like yea I am sorry about their layoffs but I have been seeking a job before their them, I feel like it’s unfair. When someone losses a job they become a job seeker like the rest of us.

Has anyone sold at IQVIA? What’s comp like?

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

What would be a fair range for total compensation (base, rsus, bonus) for Senior Product Manager role in FAANG in Bay Area? Wondering if it’s worth relocating with family given cost of living there.

Human interest stories might not be where the money is, but making the switch has saved my sanity after the tragedy I’ve covered the past few years.

I’m considering a move from NYC to LA. I work in health and am curious what the top agencies are out there? There might be some apples to apples but figured I’d ask as I start my search. Also, would love any salary variations that may be worth considering.

How do junior level employees make it work in NYC? Want to work for a top tier firm which more seem to be located in NYC. But with starting salaries being low and cost of living being high is it worth it?

Best client perk you've received?

what is working at a crisis management firm like? broad question, i know, but i don’t know much about the field! (i currently work at an ad agency, but i’m considering a career pivot.)

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

What’s the culture like at H+K? I get the impression that it’s a lot more up tight than other big agencies. I get old school, suited up, lobbying type PR vibes but I could be wrong.

Just got a job as a communications specialist in government, but I come from a marketing agency background. Any advice, things I should teach myself, professional certificates/affiliation recommendations? I want to focus on developing in-demand skills early on in my career. TIA!!!

I am in a period of growth in my role (in house and getting more exposure to top management) - im grateful for it but I also have constant anxiety during and after work hours. Does anyone who’s been in a similar position have tips for riding this wave? Hoping it’ll get easier.

My team oversees internal comms and we’re in the process of signing on BananaTag.

Any fishies out there that can share what level of reporting + KPIs you’re providing leadership?

We plan to use it for exec comms and department-level leadership (HR, IT, etc.).

We’ve historically done mass communication through Outlook, so this will be our first time getting insight into staff e-mail + Teams performance.

Is anyone else having the worst time switching jobs? I’ve been applying for a year and haven’t gotten any job offers even though I get interviews. If anyone knows of a headhunter I could reach out to though I’d be so appreciative! I’m so frustrated….

How can I get into PR? I have advertising background and would love to start PR consulting. How do I build my outreach network?

Anyone have tips to optimize internal communications processes?

Has anyone ever worked with a recruiter/headhunter? Are there any pr/mar comms focused firms you'd recommend?

Anyone work at GE or GE healthcare?

I'm looking to return to the U.S. after over a decade living and working in SSA (Marcom for ecommerce startups and tech enabled nonprofits). I've been job hunting as I plan my move in the fall but haven't gotten any serious bites. Does anyone have any pointers to ease the process of transcontinental job hunting?

Looking for any communication roles. 10+ years of experience in public (local and federal government consulting) and private sector. Either remote/hybrid, or in the DC metro area. Thanks!

Need real thoughts on culture and management at Golin health and FH.

Getting ready to go freelance after a decade doing corp comms in agencies. Looking for guidance or good resources on how to determine my hourly rate. Any solo practitioners got advice? I am nervous about underselling myself.

Writing a 2019 plan and want to put an inspired approach to company Town Halls. Any cool things you’ve seen or done to spice up this tried and true comms channel?
