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!

Pretty much same here and no plans to rehire… enjoy it?

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.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations.

I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.
