Is it true that one of the stipulations of being let go in the mass firings at Omnicom and IPG was that you could not be hired back within a calendar year? Because FCB Health now has openings for new business wins and I’m just wondering why they wouldn’t bring in some of the people who were let go.

There is a 6-month ban on those affected. They cannot be hired for full time or even for freelance. This rule was introduced in January, contradicting the initial messaging that we were welcome to apply for any Omnicom position we were qualified for. (Firsthand experience with this.)

It's a shame they didn't handle this before the layoffs, as most agencies do. Let the affected employees apply for open roles - at least some will be able to stay employed and the network saves on severance.

Companies use layoffs to get rid of people they didn't really like but didn't want to bother putting on a PIP. It's not numbers, it's quality.

In my experience, when layoffs happen, I will fight hardest to keep my best people. So there is an element of truth that some of the people who are let go are the lower performers or people who just don’t get along with their boss or whatever it might be.

But sometimes there’s just nothing I can do to protect my favorite people from the economics.

@Creative Director 1 That makes no sense especially since they are advertising the roles
