I had my manager laid off as a result of the Omnicom merger and they have yet to be replaced. Is anyone else in this limbo?

Happened to me at Dentsu. They used it as an excuse to “lose” my annual review and deny me a raise and or bonus. Then I got to float around the agency until they got their sh!t together and assigned me to a new manager who barely talked to me for the first few months. Fun times.

What’s the deal with GUT? I’ve seen so many people work there for a few months and then get laid off

So can you just take days off when you want?

To be clear: I had a situation where my manager was laid off. I wasn't the one who arranged to have them laid off.

Too late! I was laid off recently. Hahahahaha

I was in a similar situation at a small agency but it was even more effed up. My manager quit without telling me. I found out after bumping into a drunk coworker on the PATH train one night. He said he was coming from my manager’s going away party. So the next day, pissed off, I asked the company president who I was supposed to report to. He told me that I would report to him. He was let go 2 weeks later. I quit soon thereafter. Only good thing about that job was that I got to work with the guy who plays Santa every year in the Macys parade. Funny fact: the Macys Santa is married to another Mr. Claus. Hope I made you laugh!

Why did you do that to your manager?

Budget cut. I was supposed to get laid off. But I had to take a pay cut. Another staff just resigned. So hopefully the pay cut doesn’t go through.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
