Someone here should start an agency that hires 35+. The work would be good...

I’m sorry. As other people have said here, trying to connect with the other people who have been laid off this week. And it’s over 30% of them are also over 40 you can establish a pattern. Hire a labor attorney. And return to the agency with a proposal for much much more severance. Just as if a disproportionate number of women, LGBT, or minorities were let go. Ageism had the same legal status

I’m so sorry. It’s a terrible rite of passage that most of us go through in our field at some point or another. I’ve been there myself. Be kind to yourself and tell folks in your life what’s happened... and accept help.

So sorry! I feel ya! Take solace in fact you were one of the best. Was also just let go from Mccann. Never would’ve thought in a million years. Take a beat to process and don’t beat yourself up. Found the further you move from the event, the clearer the perspective gets - and the corona factor puts a whole new light on what’s a vital career and what’s not - As much fun as it is, it’s dispensable. Yes, you’ll probably get a better creative job and kick ass but if not.l it’s not like we were saving lives... you will rise stronger out of this

love, your mom

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship.

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
