Here’s a disturbingly circular question:,what will 2020 look like in hindsight?

It will be the year agencies started trimming their office space and really letting people start working remotely (saving more money while doing it). Although, with less people as they cut a ton and didn’t bring them back when the worked picked up so they could make more in profit, using less people.

Their hourly wage is more @SVP1. But the company doesn’t have to pay for insurance and other benefits. So would be interesting to see a breakdown when everything is added in

It will be a major pivot point; the year everything changed. How? In what ways? And whether for better or worse, we won’t know until 2040.

In short, same as it ever was?

😀 Yup!

No guesses? No fun.

I think we will see changes similar to after the dot.com bust, the housing bubble, recession etc. And each major shift creates disruption. (Does anyone remember all the stock options that lured us to digital shops before the dot com bust?? ) I believe we will see more “work from anywhere” - which we have had to do when traveling all the time anyway, but now will apply to the junior staff and office-based folks too. I think it means we can hire for talent without regard for location. I’ve led a global team for a year and a half and while it takes time, we got it down to a science now for sure. I think we will see holding companies share resources more broadly to allow for the ebb and flow of work (e.g. Publicis Marcel). And I also think we will see continued massive disruption in the retail landscape. A lot of companies won’t exist anymore after 2020. We will see these things as the hallmarks of the change brought in by 2020.

Hindsight is 2020 ...sorry

I’ve been noticing resumes without a date for college graduation. But all the dates are there for jobs.

I’m 51 years old. For many reasons that would make this post too long, I’ve had a very slow profesional growth. I am finding myself more and more isolated as I see that most of my coworkers are much younger than me. I’d like to find a job environment where I could relate more to my peers. How do I look for job opportunities where I can find more people of my same age group? I don’t want to be the only old person in my creative group. Should I be looking in-house? Pharma? Any ideas are welcome.
