I’m also a strat and always nervous about losing my job (nb I’m not at ogilvy). It’s a horrible feeling to oscillate between two states: stressful overwork and the fear of redundancy all the f***ng time.
If if happens again I really will throw in the towel of this god forsaken business. I love the practice of strategy and creative however we get paid pretty low and have zero security or work life balance. I know if I leave I’ll be replaced by some 24 year old Cambridge graduate, cheap, who’ll make his way to the top. And then the whole cycle repeats itself.

I think I'd be more nervous if my workload hadn't almost doubled through the pandemic.
That has its own issues mind
Not nervous, but I do feel guilty that I’m earning and saving while others in the industry have lost their jobs.
I used to love my job but now I’m really not enjoying it. Now the culture and fun is gone, I’m just making decks and talking to myself and blank screens on MS Teams.
Nervous, but also feel guilty whenever I apply for a job, as I still have one. 😐
