This picture gives me evil chills. There’s always one like it every single year at Cannes. And there’s always layoffs happening right afterwards. I don’t know why there is not an employee rebellion against this type of behavior. If you’re gonna fire people and make them lose their house, pull their kids out of school, and stay up all night, crying, maybe you shouldn’t Spend six figures partying it up on agency employees dimes the same week.

Were you laid off or the one doing the layoffs? Posting something this cryptic and disappearing doesn't help much.

Some clarity or a source would be great, especially since people at Ogilvy seem to be in the dark about this.

There were layoffs in Ny. Confirmed. And good, necessary people too. I’m sure there are more to come. Congrats for getting us awards - byyyyeeeee!

Project Management, Consulting, DEI largely. Some in strategy too. :(

The only acceptable headline at this point would be “Ogilvy is NOT having layoffs”….

So sorry Ogilvy friends. Thinking of you today.

It’s been nearly every 2 weeks the past two months. They do several people at a time so they can spread it out rather than do a big hit of 100 people all at once. Across all departments & levels in NY, Chicago, & DC. In NY for the most part. And no one is allowed to talk about it.

They had to pay to send a bunch of CCOs and CDs to Cannes! That expense report is probably equal to a salary or two.

When do I begin adjusting? It’s been 4 months. I joined as an associate and I feel like sometimes my work is sloppy or I’m overwhelmed.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning? I'm hearing from my husband's company if he takes pat leave, and leaves shortly after returning, he'd have to repay the wages paid while out on leave. Is this only for pat leave and the person who gives birth wouldn't have to pay back as it's technically disability pay? Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.
