I know it sucks, but you’d be better off putting your energy towards finding a new job.
Grey NY and VML NY are/will be hiring. Huge account wins for both. Apply. Focus on the future.
Yeah FCB1, it seems thats the new favorite way to do lay-offs. Won’t make as many headlines for agencies or corporations.
Quit. Get out. 2nd chances are rare and usually end in you gone anyway. Stockholm syndrome is real
Use every Agency resource you can to get your book together. Get ahead of the game and start looking for staff or freelance elsewhere.
Just remember... there is no shame in being part of a layoff. You will feel bad but more likely than not this was a business decision and not personal.
Good luck to you, OP.
You don’t. You peace out and get something better
Did you actually get fired or what?
Were there other firings and you survived? Are they ongoing?
My issue with this is that I find it HIGHLY unlikely that he’s unaware as to who of his reports is getting let go and who isn’t. So if you survive(d) this, he just being manipulative, not encouraging by giving you some kind of false warning.
Make sure you take some time off if you can. I always try and book a 3 or 4 week gap between gigs so I can travel, rest and jump in refreshed.
He’s the one probably getting laid off and is crapping himself...leave anyway don’t work in such a toxic environment
We're all getting fired soon when the economy collapses in a couple of weeks. Save your money it's gonna get tight.
Everything in this post is weird
Focus all your attention now on finding a new gig while you still have one. I’ve been laid off for 2 months and I wish I looked harder while I had a job.
Probably obvious and mentioned already, but finish strong so you leave on good terms. Try to line up a couple colleagues there to write you recommendations. Get your portfolio and all that updated while still there so you don’t have to scramble if the dreaded day actually comes.
