If you were laid off from a reputable agency, how important is it that your next gig is not a lower status agency that makes worse work? Like if you were at WK, wouldn’t it look bad if you ended up at BBH or Grey?

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching. First it was that we may be moving to another state for his job, then it was that his brother may need to move in with us for a few months after he graduates

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.

Hi Partners

Wondering if there is a risk of layoff/asked to leave, even after becoming a partner?

Also, did you have any fear of not achieving sales targets when you became a partner?

Thanks

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

How do you manage keeping track of and responding to teams chats and emails in a timely manner? I have a hard time addressing chats when I am focused on something else, because I know it will completely derail me. But then I forgot to circle back to the chat when I’m done and I’ve recently been told that my response time is unacceptable and needs to improve, but I’m truly unsure how to improve.
