I just got an offer letter to a Manager position at OMD, Contemplating on whether I should take it given the talks of layoffs in Q3/Q4. Thoughts?

You should take it! But remember your experience always depends on what account you will be working on.

Take it!

You’ll be fine. I have a feeling they are going to just absolutely decimate us IPG folks 🤷‍♂️🙃.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
