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".

Despite the meager level of personal space and storage at my office it would take 2-3 bags to clear it. Nice to be prepared and bring some 😂😰😭👜💼🎒

When I was let go I packed up my stuff beforehand and I still got a big box mailed to me....full of office supplies and things from my desk/drawers that were theirs...so idk who thinks pens and post-it’s from the facilities closet are appropriate to send but it really pissed me off bc my boss was a heartless soulless bitch who would try to fuck with me like that.

Agree with the sentiments above, if there is a downshift it's best to be prepared. And if you are one of the people not laid off at least your files are in order and your desk is clear of personal stuff.

Don't worry @RGA7, they "discreetly pack up your desk and mail you the contents."

AgencySpy quotes one source saying in the "low two digits” and another "around 40" 🤔 That's quite a discrepancy.

The reason it's not appropriate is because it's not going to be everyone, but now everyone will be on-edge for 18 hours or so wondering if it's going to be them. Your files should already be backed-up.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
