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".
Hahaha are you all serious with this "how could you post this have some respect where you work" shit? That's why we're on this app. To see scoming so we can be prepared and help inform our colleagues.
Oh R/GA 1, you sweet summer child...
I thought the whole point of this app was for exactly this sort of thing?
Serious question... would you rather think you were laid off a day before or be completely blindsided
I'd rather not be blindsided.
👆🏼 same. People - save all of your work to your personal Dropbox/Drive!!! Even if nothing happens, better safe sorry!
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.
Posting this just seems... not right.
Well since no one else said it I'll go with the obvious but apporopriate: Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. Great shop with tons of talent. I hope things recover soon. Best of luck.
Every agency loses clients and has layoffs. Some more than others. This is hardly airing dirty laundry. Lay off.
Regardless, have some respect for where you work and not air out your dirty laundry
Always save your work and update your site constantly. I'm surprised at how many people don't do this regularly.
Thank you. I don’t understand what ignorance provides. Best to be aware tomorrow in case you go in and can’t figure out why everyone is in a sour mood.
Is band still playing or has the ship cracked in half yet?
Tough times hit every agency at some point. R/GA is a great place with amazing people and the rare shop with a meaningful point of view. They will recover and then some.
Welcome to the club. It sucks.
Technically, 40 is in the lower half of two digits..
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.
And you are getting this information how?
