Sorry to hear that OP. Don’t overthink it. Ogilvy is struggling right now and letting a lot of amazing people go. Take a little time off... sleep in, catch up with family and friends and treat yourself to a massage or something special. Then get back to it feeling refreshed. You will be better off in the long.... You’ll look back on this and be thankful for the change. Good luck. You will do great.

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
