Laid off last year due to a client loss.

Got a job shortly after.

Laid off today from that job due to changes in the scope of work.

I’ve never hated this industry so much.

That's awful! What a way to start a new year. Well, it can only get better from here. But really, what a lousy move. It really can feel like we're corks just bobbing along in the ocean, it's a weirdly powerless feeling at times. Anyway, good luck, you found a new job fairly quickly before, you'll do it again.

So sorry. Freelance help buts it’s hard to get and sporadic Suggesting working at Trader Joe’s until you land the next gig. You’ll make only $16 an hour but it’s steady income . It’ll clear your head. You still apply and go for interviews

Good luck. I loved working there and didn’t find my next job for a year and a half. And you can still grab some freelance.

At my old job, we knew it was coming, but the agency promised they would move us around to reduce the impact. They didn’t.

Yesterday’s layoff took me by surprise. They didn’t said anything. Not even before the holiday break.

Sorry to hear it OP. Did you move cities for either job?

Thanks. I’m art.

did you have any signs as about the client loss layoff prior to? or was it just kinda unleashed on you? trying to see if i’m in a similar boat. Sorry OP 🥲

I'm in the same boat! Laid off twice in 2 years. It's tough out here.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
