Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

Just got laid off! Any lead Recruiter or Recruiting management opportunities looking for a recruiter with 10+ yrs of agency and in house tech recruiting?

Curious, what is a typical severance package—ie, how many weeks of pay per year?

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

With a recession around the corner - two questions:
1) will there be layoffs at Deloitte? My concern is we hired so much ppl this year.
2) will there be more work in org design? Just saw the Robinhood 9% workforce layoff announcement.

Hello, what salary can an ACCA member (3 years of experience) expect at any of the Big 4s or MNCs?

Being a male and Asian really sucks.

PSA, you can transfer your car loan to an interest free credit card. Got 18 months interest free with BOA and a 20k credit limit. Transferred my car loan and I am no longer paying interest

What's the average SM salary?

Any advice on how to actually FIND a mentor? I’m a first-gen black girl trying to navigate this whole ~career~ thing by myself. I would love to meet someone that’s actually done this before to help 😩

So, it's super obvious not to use "Police" in ads and activations, right? Like, we all know not to dress actors as police and have them "bust" people who have the wrong product, right?

Being a male and Asian really sucks.

Anyone else tired of having to work so hard to get where you are, only to realize you will be the first one laid off because you aren’t in the “sorority.” Watching it happen is filling me with anxiety

Let's get Meta with it here for a second. Since it's Monday, and I'm relatively jr. I'm interested to hear your experience breaking into the industry as a minority. What was it like.

I’m working with a manager who likes to prioritize his ideas over strategic research, I want to be helpful because it’s very distressing to watch ideas being presented without the appropriate research, any advice?

Since recent events, do you think PSAs are still worth the time & energy?

If you could change anything to increase minority representation in marketing, what would you change? I think I'd want at least 2-3 minority employees in creative leadership positions to make sure things like colorism in ads less likely to pass the final edit.

A good friend is looking for a Hispanic multicultural strategy/ planning director- based in NYC.

Looking for advice (& empathy): Started out in advertising, then became a journalist. Moved to the US for grad school, and back to advertising few years ago. Now stuck at a company where I’m deeply unhappy but they sponsor the visa (not H1B, so it’s not a huge ask). Also not too sure of advertising as my heart is still in journalism but this pays the bills. Wary of other companies that might push me into working (most) weekends and evenings +Still don’t fully understand the US job market. Tips?

Advise on handling rates negotiations with BIPOC and non-male creators? I always want to accept first bid and get uncomfortable when my bosses push to undercut rates (especially now when money is tight), because there is a whole history of BIPOC and non-male people getting paid less. I’ve tried to push back but struggle to articulate this to them. (For the record, I’m POC female and my bosses are white males, and race/gender convos are already very difficult with them.)

We’re looking for account folks.
- 1 badass brand director
- 2 AAEs who should’ve been promoted by now, but (insert bullshit agency excuse).

DM me, or contact my girl Andy Moerer

What's the most natural next step for a marketing coordinator?

I’m a Hispanic woman on my team ( 8 years industry experience with managerial experience ) and have been in my role for 1.5 years . A white male on my team (4 years industry experience no managerial experience) with under a year at the same level got promoted over me. I have helped him with everything and constantly providing him with feedback and direction on what to do . Do I bring it up to senior leadership? Or just let it roll off my back and continue to do my job and hope I get noticed ?

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

What’s the point of having multiple awards for “craft writing” if your agency only sees you as the translator?  🙄
