Anyone hearing noise about layoffs?
Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬
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

Maybe if you plan as if it’s going to happen you’ll feel like you’re taking control and feel better?
You and me both
Be prepared. Back up your work and start putting out feelers for job leads. It helps
Good lord I’m glad I quit that place years ago. It was awful then and clearly it’s only gotten worse. Young, naive people really will put up with such toxicity just to be feel like they’re somewhere that outsiders think is ‘cool’.
If you see the writing on the wall, don't ignore it. I have before, and I regret it. Plan ahead, get your book together and reach out to your network to find what's next.
Remember nearly every agency in NYC is laying off in droves. BBDO had several rounds already this year... It's going to take a while, so start now.
Your in luck if you want to get out of NYC as there seems to be a lot of jobs, just not in new york.
And cheap is not always safe... BBDO cut from the top and bottom. (but not the old boys club of course ... we have way more ECDs then clients 😆)
You have droga on your resume. Most shops will love that alone. Wish we knew what your guys titles were so we could be of better help. Best of luck!
OP and D51 glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I feel like everyone is accepting that it’s not a matter of if, but when
Damn, that is an awful feeling. Don’t let it eat you up and try to stay positive
They are laying off senior people and replacing them with more junior/cheaper counterparts. Don’t worry unless you are making 100k plus.
After layoffs expect an exodus. Once everyone gets nervous about staying they start to hit the road.
☝️we are laying off people left and right. That makes people paranoid.
They always do.
@CD 2 so at some point in time, you must have thought it was ‘cool’ too.
Ugh I'm sorry you're going through that. It sucks because you want to prove your worth in times like this but stress is such a creativity killer. Hang in there, nothing's happened yet. Agree with others as well - download all your shit, update your book, do some poactive poking around if you want.
I would follow others’ advice while making sure to deliver, with a positive attitude. I found that staying below the radar helps during layoffs. That plus being majorly underpaid. Cheap labor is safe labor :(
Actually not true Droga5 1, junior people were impacted as well. I’m doing more junior work as a result and am sure I’m not the only one. Don’t worry OP I think things will settle down soon.
Just remember to file for unemployment in NYC, if you find work when it is ready to kick in you can just decline, but it takes off the stress of what will I pay rent with until you find something else.
Why are you paranoid? Must be something if happened to make you feel this way..
Yeah. And we’re still in the bull market. What will happen when the market corrects itself? We’re due for a recession and it’s not clear any agency is planning for it
Assume you will be. Back up your work. Then work like you’ve got nothing to lose
