I’m wondering about a second wave of layoffs coming early Q1 due to clients leaving as a result of the merger.

(This is pure speculation, but I wouldn’t be surprised)

Clients will leave and then they’ll use those people not scoped as an excuse to lay off and offshore the role in the future at least at the more junior levels

My money is on this outcome

I’ve already seen the date January 6th thrown around in the advertising bowl, right now it’s all pure speculation because no one knows.

If I had to guess they’re going to do quarterly layoffs throughout 2026.

I’ve seen it. I’m not trying to further perpetuate a certain date (I have no solid info).

BUT do I feel that clients are receiving 5-star service right now? Yeah right. Everyone is terrified. I’m trying to open the discourse on something I feel is wider than my agency

like

I think they’ll wait for RTO attendance to come in and then use that to lay off as well. I worked with clients that loved their teams. I agree with you that some clients will leave due to their teams being gutted.

Well maybe they'll get rid of some of the ass kissers who deserve it. F em all

Nah man don’t wish that on anyone, karma is real so you don’t want that coming back around to you.
