He mentioned voluntary corporate salary reductions, but no specific mention of his $17MM annual compensation -- an increase of 3% from last year, BTW.

I'll withhold judgment to see how this all shakes out, but that number is ringing in my head with every friend I see let go.

It is. Assuming they haven’t updated their profile since it’s now VMLY&R.

The one question people should ask is, how healthy was the agency before Covid19?

It’s much the same with the virus itself. For the most part, those that have compromised systems and are weaker to begin with, have the hardest time surviving. So agencies that were struggling and looking at downsizing back in January are simply executing the actions that were inevitable before this health crisis.

And Yes, we’ve seen very healthy people lose the battle as well. But much more rare. With little rhyme or reason.

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
