Quiet firings are happening through out the industry right now. Agencies have become better about hiding the layoffs and firings. Not a good thing…

Heard BCG laid off quite a few people this summer. Is this true?

Did someone get fired in the new manager training in Orlando after getting drunk?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I do believe EY is d kindest when it comes to putting people first.Thank U Kelly.Resume travel based on CDC & facts, no layoffs in foreseeable future, extending trust when wfh& personal accountability

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

I know agencies across the board did some layoffs right before the holidays, but when do we think hiring will pick up again? Getting to a point where I feel like I need to start thinking about a change.

Coworker got fired because they stole my clients! We have a policy stating that the realtor who initiated the contact should be the one closing the deal to give them a fair chance. I feel bad but they should have read the policy...

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

I got an email from a Cybersecurity Advisory Partner with the subject "Catch-up". Last week we all rolled-off from project abruptly b/c the client terminated the contract. Am I getting laid off?

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

Got laid off on Friday. Three days and I'm already bored out of my mind. Besides Jim, what are people doing to pass the time in between job hunting?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

How are you guys thinking about booking appointments for 1st time H1B stamping? Every time I open the site, there are no slots available for 2022. I’m sure majority of you have faced the same. Also, heard that some people have reached out to agents and got their booking done via them. Is that even a safe option? At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?

Can someone help on how to get a burner?

My brother got me a weightlifting belt
Unsure if I need one or when/if I should use it
Any advice?

I know agencies across the board did some layoffs right before the holidays, but when do we think hiring will pick up again? Getting to a point where I feel like I need to start thinking about a change.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Starting a new job at Applied Materials on Monday as a Manufacturing Engineer III. I’ve been out of college for 5 years and all of my work experience till now has been in R&D for start ups and small businesses . So not only is this a new experience for me going into such a large company but also a industry (semiconductors). Does anybody has tips or advices on what I should expect as a new hire and how I can set myself up for success? Thanks!

Has anyone looked into starting a property management business? Repeat clients, scalable, and can run smoothly once you figure out the right team/systems. Any general thoughts and or recommended resources/books? Haven’t done much research...just sharing shower thoughts here

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

Thoughts on CP+B Boulder? What is the vibe like there? Who are the clients?

I have seen that Some people are seriously demeaning Publicis Sapient looks like they have a personal grudge. I would suggest to connect with your HR and manager in PS or look for right people on LinkedIn.

First year associate and I may barely hit 1500 this year. Requirement is 2000, though i know first and some second years at my firm don’t hit it.

I am a in a small specialist group who has 2 partners, and they both give me work. One of them said to not worry about my hours (though they do not know how low of a number i’m projected for). Haven’t asked the other.

Should I be concerned?

Do all accounts people have a lot of anxiety/nervous energy?

Worst email accidentally sent to the wrong person? Yours or anecdotal...

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

Like I’m sure many of you, I’m tired of the word “empower.” But the thesaurus isn’t really giving me anything that feels right. Have you seen any unique or more authentic alternatives?

“Back in the day, I think adland did a better job of giving clients what they never imagined instead of giving them exactly what they wanted.” Paraphrasing, but read something like this recently. True or nah?

Has anyone worked on the creative team for Hilton corporate? As someone who loves travel (and Hilton hotels) this always appealed to me. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on the reality of working there.

Most exotic work travel destination you've ever gone to and for what brand or client?

Here’s to the introverts finally getting a chance to have a little control over how and when interactions happen with others.

Why do all the Creatives I've come across give the rest of the agency such attitude? Get off your high horses please.

Any guidance about taking a job at a social agency? Is it as bad as everyone says it is?

Is how nicely the deck is designed really that important?

Asking for a friend - average yearly salary for an Account Supervisor in NYC?

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

Now I’m curious.. BEST clients you’ve ever worked with? I’ll start - Disney, Fox theatrical.

Crazy week last week. Not a damn thing to do today.
