Did a client recently not deliver timely feedback or cancel a creative review last minute? Did your last brief have twice the amount of deliverables as they normally would? Did you happen to notice a conference meeting with a bunch of agency leadership happening?

Those are a few pretty decent signals but tbh in this climate I would not feel safe anywhere

When someone in management that you never speak to suddenly says hello to you by name in the hall.

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
