The fact that these layoffs shock you tells me you probably haven’t been at CP+B for a long time.

He’s chucking out the trash. Needs it.

He wants to start fresh I imagine. Most of the hires there didn't come from him. Imagine it like a new cmo who puts an account up for review. Sorry for those getting caught up in it.

Alex left CPB because the industry was so broken he could not bear it any longer. Got tired of snowboarding and now firing people. Welcome back.

@ACD3, love to see your work and/or career and/or resume to see what your definition of “trash” is.

I feel like I see this differently than most people. The guy made a big pronouncement about leaving the industry to do good. He was way above it. Now he's back. I dont see how that says anything but things didnt work out for him, and he needs money, and he's going back to the last thing he was good at.

I know, I know -- sacrilegious. But if it were anyone else (someone leaves a digital CCO job to be ECD of some in house blahde blah, then goes back to a digital place when the startup closes), isnt that what youd think?

Most of the people Ralph hired were garbage. I get it. There’s a bunch of people that need to go. That being said, he will fire people who shouldn’t be fired because he has no idea who’s who and who does what. It’s not his fault, none of the ECDs have a fucking clue who is and isn’t good. How that’s possible, I don’t know but it’s true. Right now it’s a cluster fuck of disorganization.

like

Highly doubt he needs money.

What's his plan?

The entire new biz team?

And if you didn’t know most of the people there are trash, you are probably trash also.

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
