Just had a bomb dropped on me. Left an agency on Friday to go work at a new place only to find out that they had to start a hiring freeze/cancel my employment. Now I’ve got no job heading into 2021. Yahoo.

Any leads for a mid/senior copywriter would be greatly appreciated ❤️

Tell them that you are in an unfortunate bind and see if they can at least bring you on as freelance to tide you over and help feed your ttiny Tim on crutches who will not have a Christmas goose. Lay into emotion and guilt them hard. I went through a lay-off and ended up extending a couple months freelancing.

Feel ya, been looking for a full-time job since I got laid off 18 months ago. Had a verbal offer and the freeze hit before they could send the paperwork. Lucky me.

Damn. I’m sorry to hear that. I actually signed my offer letter and everything was moving forward.

If you ever need a copy partner, hit me up :)

Oy! Is that legal? Did you sign a contract?

100% legal. I live in an at-will state so there’s nothing I can do

Where are you based?

Chicago
