Which agencies are doing layoffs?

I’m pretty sure all holding company agencies have had layoffs over the past year or two. Some far worse than others.

Trimming the fat, as in dropping the expensive employees.

Ozempic Employment

Enough to service the accounts that didn’t leave. And enough to pitch new business to replace the losses. But that’s it. All the fat has been trimmed. Just hoping I’m not deemed to be extra fat anytime soon.

Uh huh, I guess Grey went from a shop that occupied six floors of a building in the flatiron district to a boutique occupying one floor of a building downtown somewhere because there were 5 floors of under performers. Seems to me the fat was making the cuts.

“All these?”

Hi!!
I am looking for a referral for Marketing/Product management role, lost previous job in a layoff.
YOE: 2.5

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
