They lay off a lot of people and send out an email stating that the tasks for the day are done. Then a couple of weeks later, their Recruiter very publicly calls out on LinkedIn that they’re hiring. What a punch in the gut to the people let go. Shows how little respect they have for people. I think I’d rather work at the grocery store than at DDB right now.

It’s a good thing your friend works in strategy rather than creative. The creative recruiter there is about the worst there is.
