Please try not to stress about layoffs. There is absolutely nothing you can do except prepare (if needed) and continue working as though your job is not in jeopardy.

Please do not stress about dying too. There is absolutely nothing you can do about your inevitable doom except prepare and continue living as if we do not all have an expiration date.

This is REALLY bad advice. If you survived the last crisis then you will do the EXACT opposite.

Work hard and be grateful. But please polish your resume, reach out to recruitor’s and hunt. When the lay offs come, you will be ahead of the curve.

I guarantee you this. All profitable companies will protect themselves. You will look like a fool when the axe comes down - be humble, be prepared, be selfish.

Well I believe if you are on a project, you may be fine. No?

Not true. Unless you’re a bad performer they won’t ruin project continuity to lay off someone especially if the other person is on the bench and has a lower utilization. Project / client continuity is big. Now if the client isn’t that fond of you.. well that’s a different story.

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
