Is OMD on a hiring freeze? I got confirmation that they would like to hire me, but I still haven't received an offer letter. Recruiter has been responsive saying they're waiting on finance approvals, but it's been about a month.

Last I heard (from friends at both Omnicom and IPG), they were on a hiring freeze through October at the least. That was back in August when we talked. With the acquisition expected to happen this month, I’m not sure if it was extended. WPP was also on a brief hiring freeze according to the hiring person I met at one of their agencies. Crazy times in ho co land right now. Hoping you don’t get ghosted and end up with a great job nonetheless! :)

The other thing that is likely holding it up is this IPG acquisition

Possibly yeah, it’s weird cause I see on lindken that omd has so many job openings, so I assume they’re actively trying to hire people

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching. First it was that we may be moving to another state for his job, then it was that his brother may need to move in with us for a few months after he graduates

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
