Laid off with most of my team. Really frustrated with corporate leadership in general, watching them protect overhead over employees.

If I had access to capital and RFPs, I’d build a collective of teams to respond to briefs, pay everyone a flat fee for participation, have everyone pitch in competition, and winners oversee execution. Just get rid of all the overhead, bonafide meritocracy. Anyone work at V&S or other crowdsourced agency experiments? Why did they fail?

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
