One hour to prep. Use it. Get copies of what you need. If you have a work phone use an app to scrape contacts and content . Save your files. Prep a list of what you think should be in severance package . Ask to keep your work equipment (laptop etc) to help in job search
Record the conversation on your phone without letting it be known. You can listen back later as you will probably be a bit blurry as it happens . Ask for paper confirmation of any package and time for questions before you leave the building
Damn the black ops corporate espionage survival team game on this thread is strong! 👌🏽 good luck
Sorry had to call my wife. It's official, I'm out but have till the end of the week. They won't let me keep the computer after cuz policy. Got all the files I needed on my mega drive. Got severance and pto but can't negotiate for more cuz they're just gong by policy
Get accurate record of vacation days taken. Submit for any outstanding expenses. If you are owed things like a sabbatical sign the paperwork application immediately and then use it to negotiate additional severance as compensation. Check your contract and staff handbook for wider agency holding company benefits that your individual agency is not aware of
Sorry, OP, but sounds like you have a game plan and a great attitude about it, which I'm sure will manifest in good things in reality. All the best in future endeavors!👊
Good luck op! Was in your shoes a month and a half ago, and it sucks but it’s a blessing in disguise most cases!
I hope you're wrong about this, but if you're not, know you'll be okay and this is temporary in the grand scheme of your life and many of us have been there. Best of luck!
If you’re in NYC and want an interview, let me know
Sending good vibes, OP. Good advice, Spark. Use this time to get everything you want saved down/sent to yourself, etc. Permanently delete emails or files you don’t want them to have. Good luck...fingers crossed it’s a false alarm!!!!
Also I literally updated in the meeting if you scroll up a bit
I've got all my work, I'll just go back to freelancing. I'll be fine. The surprise mandatory meeting I needed to change all my travel for is in half an hour.
Godspeed mate. Hope it’s just a feeling.
If OP did everything everyone on this list tells him/her to do in 60 minutes, I’d be thoroughly impressed
Nah I don't want to completely burn a bridge. Just a specialist division in a big pr agency that decided to take their focus away from creativity
Ask a producer for a spare external drive, slide your whole computer on to it and to google drive. Export your outlook contact list. Delete all personal info from your work computer
You probably don’t want to be working at a place where they don’t value creativity any way. If there’s a silver lining it’s that you are on to somewhere better.
Download your work ASAP
We'll see. I'll let you all know when I know
It's not that I don't do work that wins business. It was a tough year for the business and my division is being restructured
