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.

My CEO responded immediately saying that there are currently no expected layoffs or salary cuts as of now. I know Mullen has been having a rough week but the email shouldn’t have said anything. When i read it my stomach dropped

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.

No insights on IPG, but it sounds like all the big holding companies are laying people off and furloughing right now.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all.

Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job.

Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

First in my family to go to college, parent is abusive so I have no safety net & had no help. Worked full time all through college & still graduated with 30k in debt. I’ve been paying really aggressively on my private loans since the federal pause and I checked today and I now only owe 2800 in private. Pretty sure I owe 11k in fed & I qualify for the 10k.
