Yes, layoffs and lots. Don’t see mgmt taking salary cuts
Wouldn’t be surprised if 50% or more of projects go away

Layoffs, I’m sure.
Client cuts, at least.
Salary cuts? Good luck.

Layoffs which they’ll call furlough so people can get unemployment and salary cuts a over a certain amount.

B-Reel London just closed shop due to Corona.

Our (indie agency) CEOwner has been pretty transparent. We’ve lost a lot of work but one client is going gangbusters, so there’s that. Layoffs and salary cuts have been discussed as a “backup” plan. Our revenue will take a dive this month. My guess is we will lay off up to half and leadership will take small salary cuts.

Homegrown M(July promotion) , India.

My P recently has been making me bill time to a small revenue project while i am handling huge client revenue one that takes 8 hours of my"official" time everyday.

Post attending those PAM metrics sessions and getting a sneak peak into how our compensation is driven, the above is putting me into dilemma of the P intentions.

Is it ordinary for PAP to ask Ms to fill time on some side hustle project. How will it hurt me in my year end take away?

"Giving you time back" is a phrase I hear more and more often now when meetings either end early or get cancelled. I started at a new agency recently and feel like this phrase speaks volumes to their idea of work/life balance. Our time belongs to them and they give it back to us at their discretion. Super strange environment to work in. Happy Tuesday!
