Layoffs at Wunderman Thompson yesterday and today. When will it end?

Thinking about starting an OF... since we aren’t getting raises this year. In all seriousness, I like being watched. But I’m too afraid to be found and get fired. My husband has a job now so maybe I can finally live my dream. Thoughts?

Layoffs ke posts dekhke dimag kharab ho raha…I have already resigned and set to join accenture after 2 months. Kuch panga to nai hoga na? Will they revoke my offer due to slowdown/recession?

Does anyone here work for Carvana? I’ve had a recruiter reach out about a position several times but know they just went through some layoffs. Have they recovered and are they on a good track or is there still a lot of risk?

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

Compared to other models, how does PDM typically fare during layoffs? What service/industry would you say has been the safest?

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

Hi Partners

Wondering if there is a risk of layoff/asked to leave, even after becoming a partner?

Also, did you have any fear of not achieving sales targets when you became a partner?

Thanks

FX & Treasury Sales Job at a bank in India

I work at an US bank in a middle office role in India but I’m not liking it much because it’s process oriented. Now I’m getting an offer from an Indian based bank for the Treasury and FX sales role but I’m so confused about the job security and targets. My questions are below:

1) Will I be asked to work for 12 hours?
2) Will I be given targets and if I don’t meet it, will I be fired or something?

Any recs for relatively affordable low-key trainers/gyms/programs around? I gained the COVID 50 (ugh) and am pretty embarrassed about my current shape so I don’t want to jump into a full group fitness class just yet. I’d like to start with some solo workouts but still have the accountability of a group fitness like Orange Theory (which I was pretty into pre-COVID). Also “affordable” meaning I can basically use the annual $1k fitness subsidy we get from Uncle D and pay minimal out of pocket.

I live in a multilingual country and agencies and clients are always asking for people who speak 4 or more languages. Cool cool. But does this not possibly mean they're average writers in 4 languages than great writers in one or two?

So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?

VMLY&R merged with Geometry, to develop the "most powerful commerce capability and ad agency at global scale", who's worked with them because this seems like a stretch based on my experience with both.

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

What’s the best agency to work at?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

So Q1 has been abnormally weak for agencies across the board, right? Is it fair to say Trump is finally starting to effect the economy?
