I work at a PR firm specializing in Financial PR and Marketing. Since I’ve joined the company in May I went from 11 clients to 2 because clients are going through budget issues. My manager has hinted the the current economy might hit our small firm. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do? I left my role at a big bank because I’m passionate about PR and financial services.

I'd start looking and applying elsewhere. Best case scenario, it's a false alarm and you'll be fine. But at least you'll have a backup, just in case.

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships. I just do not relate to the conversation and just find it hard to picture myself being a long-term employee. I’ve had better relationships when working at wal-mart when I was in college. I feel it takes away some of the joy of having to go to work.
