Massive layoffs at R/GA tomorrow. We have essentially lost most of our Samsung, Verizon and Nike business in last year. We’re losing a lot of good people tomorrow.

Honestly surprised at how many negative posts there are toward OP. Better for everyone to actually get a chance to save their work/get a jump on updating their resume. Genuinely curious how this "doesn't seem right".

Oh man, not trying to start a panic. But just putting it out there. R/GA has been laying off people slowly for the past year to avoid a headline. It’s time the industry is made aware. And the employees to save their work.

People generally have a good idea if they're on an account that was lost and at risk of layoff. They've probably been fearing it's happening every day anyway and at least they can prepare mentally that it's probably tomorrow. The moment people start funneling into HR or the first person starts packing their belongings, the same "on-edge" will happen, so it's really not much of an argument.
