Just got made redundant this week. Founder brought in really high billable utilization targets and has decided as a creative agency we can’t justify a creative director role. Only been there 10 years 🥴

....and execs whine about employees not having any loyalty these days. What a slap in the face after 10 years. I'm really sorry to hear it, you've got my sympathies. Wishing you the best of luck on the job hunt.

Thank you! Not sure I’ll give my loyalty so easily going forward, might save it for my own growth instead

Ugh, I’m so sorry, that’s rough, especially after 10 years. Sounds like they’re chasing short-term numbers over long-term value but also probably reacting badly to the current volatility of the market. You’ve clearly got the experience and talent, somewhere better will see that. Still, it sucks. I hope you get severance and unemployment while you're looking for something else!

Thank you for this. Scary heading out new after so long but ready to embrace a new start.

Am I understanding this correctly… they don’t see a justification for a creative director??

You are 😂

I feel you. I also got let go mid last year from a place I was at for 10 years. Loyalty counts for nothing on the end, especially when people are trying to save their own skins.

Sounds like it’s not the kind of place you want to be if that’s the founders opinion. They don’t deserve you and you deserve better.

Onwards and upwards my friend 💪
