Done. Left this year thankfully. For anyone who reads this, life is better on the other side.
Lol, that's still in the industry. If I could go client side and be paid I would not have this issue. I'm talking like totally and utterly unhireable in any job that is advertising related.
Not sure, but it feels that way. I’m extremely pessimistic in general though, so hoping my feelings aren’t facts. I get this way every time I get laid off. I’m sure it’s natural.
“my feelings are not facts.” Thanks for the new mantra, buddy!
I don’t know if I even have a career in advertising… here.
Yeah me. But I’m 50 and mentally and emotionally done.

How many more legacy agencies need to get folded up for you to understand the party is over
What do you mean by this exactly?
Me! And I couldn't be happier
What are you doing for money now?
I left advertising for tech and well I’m back. It’s definitely not greener on the other side sometimes.
Same re: tech . Laid off at Meta in a 20k purge. Then rehired and laid off again when reality labs purged. Been doing loops in tech but not converting, with some taking two months. Meanwhile, I hit up some agency contacts and they are ‘booming’ comparatively.
I f’n refuse to give up.

One can hope.
Maybe. I "aged" out years ago but managed to stay in the game. This current layoff might be the one, but I hope not.
Stewart Talent let me go during covid only to hire an agents family member to replace me...much smaller rate too.
I want a non creative role. I’m tired.
