They are winning on automated media. Peace out creative work.

CoLab is one of those smaller agencies. A number of layoffs are about to hit. As a consequence, a number of other employees are actively looking to bolt, as you can tell from a simple search here in Fishbowl.

like

But has Colab ever been in a state where they *weren’t* actively laying off??

Does Saatchi&Saatchi count as small?

I personally wouldn’t count Saatchi as small. But I’ve witnessed 2 rounds of layoffs no more than 9 months apart.

So unfortunately, I wouldn’t be surprised if the agency was impacted.

Hi all

I am getting mails to report to office.
My base location does not have a hot seat.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??
