Damn, sorry OP. At least you know it's not you...it's "let's create four new upper-level management positions and fire the people who do the work to recoup that money and see if that makes us less slow" Ogilvy. Good luck at your next shop.

How about some layoffs at the top

So sorry

Yep. And this is Round 2

@Freelance - duuuuude that place is so top- heavy, it’s brutal.

Again, no change in leadership at the top. And the place is hemorrhaging.

Stay strong! It’s gonna get better.

Curious, with layoffs do you get severance? If it the state is at-will, layoff with no package? Or is dependent on how nice the agency wants to be?

like

So sorry OP. Sending hugs and wishing you all the good things, right around the corner, waiting for you.

So sorry. It hurts now, but for just about everyone I know ( including myself) it lead to better things...often MUCH better

OP, been there with Ogilvy. I see they’ve changed their MO on timing. They used to fire on Tuesdays. So, everyone knew if they made it through the day, they were safe for another week. Best of luck to you. It will work out

like

Sorry. Hopefully your next job will be better

Good vibes to you. Take a day to rest/recharge and then hit the ground running.

Same. Good luck to you. It'll get better (it'd be hard to get much worse.)

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
