Did they have more layoffs this year?

Super common for agencies to spread out layoffs into multiple rounds. This way they avoid hitting numbers that legally force them to adhere to extra things like reporting.

Very possibly so. If they did one layoff all at once it might trigger WARN requirements. But they may also be unsure of their financial outlook and wary of laying off too many people all at once, only to find that they need to staff back up due to new business or expanded scopes. Sure, in this market one would think that’s easy but it still takes time to hire - and costs a lot more money.

Why should the NA CEO resign???

Ha ok, well then I hope there is change and things will eventually improve!

Nope. Leo Burnett has

Dentsu is worse. Three CEOs in under three years. Monthly layoffs over that whole period that are still happening…

Pretty sure Viacom is worse in terms of annual consistent layoffs throughout the year. They just bury it and you never hear about it b/c laid off employees don’t want to be black listed for future contract work. Just sayin

Sorry you work there! Likely more change is to come at Assembly Global as the merger with Brand New Galaxy progresses. Good luck.
