You’re staffed to no projects, despite everyone else being super busy
If you get put on a PIP
Yeah the snark answer is "you work for an ad agency in 2018," but the real ones seem kind of like common sense: you're not getting new projects, the place lost a client, all the stuff you're working on is due in a couple of days or less, instead of something that could last a while and they tell you "dont worry about it." They rearrange the seating but they leave you where you ar---actually this is is bumming me out. Good luck compadre.
You’re a CD that thinks UX is bullshit.
You get an odd calendar invite and you haven’t heard from anyone in leadership for a minute.
You’re going to meetings, solving problems, coming up with account saving ideas, going to research with clients and they love you, hanging at the agency parties, you’re on the train in and you get a meeting notice to go to HR at 10. That’s when you know for sure
Iron mountain boxes and security by your desk when you come in are generally a good indicator
LOL DD1. Preach!!!
Sudden hints of “handover”: for no apparent reason, a manager asks for “an updated client contact list”, another asks for more frequent status meetings, a big boss shows initiative to get more involved with a client they never cared about.
@RAD1, do...do you believe that?
Mangers that never smile all sudden for no reason smile at you.
A manger that always takes friday from home comes in to work that friday.
Your constantly the last person that finds out what's going g on in the group both socially and professionally.
It's the start of end of a quarter.
I was caught in a large layoff. After they told me, HR walked me back to get a box for my things from the coat room. She pulled back a curtain and there were tons of already assembled boxes. So now, I would look into corners and behind doors for boxes
If I'm being honest, agree most CD1 in short term. In a larger sense, being in advertising is being in a constant state of possibly being canned. Not for the faint of heart.
You admit Digital, in fact, is the biggest scam put on the Media industry.. ever. Oh and that “impressions” really is another word for “smoke and mirrors”. After that.. you’re done and basically blacklisted
If you’re getting any sort of vibe that you may be fired, start looking. Trust your gut. Other than that, constantly being put on projects below your skill level, getting a review that cites anything about an “attitude.”
sneaky changing your title like that
😱 thanks for the heads up @fcb1 😉
The cruelest thing I ever saw: I was at a company that moved to a new building. We had a really positive gun-ho creative. Her name was on the new seating chart. She had a spot. Then, the night before the moved, they laid her off. Like kicking a puppy. Fuckers
When they invite you a “let’s catch up”meeting, you’re toast.
I remember being fired the first time and had no clue. Very naive, as it was a smaller shop and the new CCO had just passed his one year date. After being let go, he told me that it wasn’t just me, but that there were others he had to tell later. So I went back to my office, (it was before the open seating sham plan days) and had all these people come in and try to commiserate and console when I knew they were only minutes away from the same fate
