Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

If it makes you feel better I kept hearing how well Booz was doing and next thing you know they're selling the company
Under the National Relations Act of 1935 we have the right to discuss pay OW1 and telling us what to do and say in our free time is a potential infringement on our rights including freedom of speech that even if they could come up with a "reason" to argue they had a right to tell us what to post it would be a public relations night mare. OW1 if you wished up you might be working for a better firm!
This just confirms it. WE HAVE THE POWER, uprising of the peons 2016
I bet their announcement actually drove new users to Fish Bowl lol. ("What is FB? I need to check that out....")
@OW1, What is dead may never die 😉

They told us at a staff meeting in the office on Friday - specifically saying we should rebut people here regarding layoffs
Well again they can't tell you what to say. And why would anyone want to "protect" a group of people that is obviously only for their self interest by lying and saying everything is okay when it's not.
"telling us what to do and say in our free time is a potential infringement on our rights including freedom of speech." what are you, a fucking goldfish?
OMG how embarrassing
In what context did they do that? I haven't seen anything. Also they can't tell you not to do that just like they can't tell you not to compare salaries... Don't tell me one partner told you this and you are taking it as gospel or you might be next....
Why is anyone surprised that we were told things are fine when they aren't? How many times have you been on a project when things aren't going well but leadership tells the client things are fine?
They're just trying to minimize the noise and blowback on the fact that it was handled so poorly
Freedom of speech does not protect employment. A company can absolutely fire you because of something you say.
Pwc3 you funny
I think handling it better would be 1) not denying it to other people and pretending they were performance firings (manager who was gonna jump to D posted something a couple days ago) 2) owning up to their missed targets 3) properly communicating across the firm so people aren't panicking
PwC4 - there were no heads-up, people were pulled from client sites, clients are not happy, projects are disrupted. These people that were laid off (this round) were not on any performance improvement plan. If that's not handling it poorly, then I don't know what is.
Wait what?
Facebook or fishbowl?
Who? I haven't seen this.
