Round of layoffs happening at 360i today. Don’t worry guys, take it as a blessing in disguise - you all deserve better than that place. ❤️

What's something you've seen a manager fired for almost instantly?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Coming to the US after summer as I got my visa approved. However im seeing a lot of people commenting they got laid off. Is it risky for me to change countries right now and get a job I might lose in 3-4 months? Or it's not that bad overall?

Throwing this out there. My company was recently acquired and I was laid off yesterday. I’m currently 6m pregnant so looking for a company that isn’t going to have a problem with my giving birth in 3m (looking for a miracle). 13 YOE in Marketing (Brand, Digital, Product, Ops). You name it, I’ve probably done it. Team management exp but not required in next role. Just looking for 100% remote, flexibility, and company that puts families first and won’t give me a hard time about doctor appts 🙏🏻

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Novartis India recently fired 400 employees. I have read in an article. Is job security an issue at Novartis?

Laid off at PwC. It was more of a relief than anything. Anyone have any knowledge on openings at smaller (but not necessarily boutique) firms? Human Capital / Change Management related field.

When will be the next round of Digital Nexus layoffs in Montvale?

Just heard EY is about to make more layoffs in audit too

Anyone here get laid off and then lateraled? Are you happier now?

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

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?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Hi MD legends,
Has anyone internally trf to Monitor from another Dtt offering? I was referred to the team by the Manager in Monitor, as I want to work there instead of Data&AI.

Would you prepare for strat type/case interview questions, or do you think it may different given it’s internal?

Essence NY anyone?

Can anyone explain that how project allocation is being done in Nagarro. And what is the level of interview for project allocation for a java developer role?

Please help with 11 likes. Thank you

Hi Fishes,
I am looking to switch, what would be a realistic compensation expectation before going job hunting?

Tech stack: AEM fullstack + AZ-900 certified
YOE: 2.3yrs

How much medical coverage should one have?

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

This is my first post being a PRO member! :D

How do you count years of experience? Lets say you were a web master for 5 years. Then you transitioned into a proper UX role and did that for 5 years. Is that 10 years of experience or 5?

What process do you follow when working with product managers to solve customer pain points or work on new product features? I’m trying to find a better and more efficient way to work with my design team

Hi! What's the entry level UX designer job pay range realistically? Just trying to gauge a general range (I understand factors such as location play into it big time)

My LWD is 2nd July 2022 and I got offer letter from TCS in March. Can anyone let me know when will I get the joining letter from TCS?

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not? There’s generally a perception here that L&W and K&E are the only US firms where London can even begin to compete with stateside in terms of generating l work organically but would be interesting to know what you all think? Be brutally honest.

Any EY PPMD 🐠 willing to chat/connect? Interested in learning more about the cyber practice. I’m a new campus hire in the Hoboken office. Thanks in advance!

Can someone tell me if a HRBP III is more senior level than a HRBP I? I’ve never really dealt with those titles so I am a little confused!

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

When you work late, you get to snoop around the office. Given.

Hey New Yorkers! Have a celebratory team win and want to take my team out (6-8 of us) in NYC for a nice day. Everyone is vaccinated but want to keep things outdoors. Any fund recommendations? Was thinking maybe a catered rooftop bar and meal somewhere with an activity beforehand. Any favorite spots or things to do?

Today my boss told me I need to work on showing my frustration directly to people. She mentioned a meeting THREE weeks ago where, during a meeting, I said one single thing that showed I was unhappy with not being included in a particular meeting (for a project I was leading), and my tone made it clear I was unhappy about it. She said the person I “called out” didn’t even bring it up to her; it was what she “noticed.” Cont’d...

Saturday night live is getting good again.

Had my review (it was good) and manager says that they’ve put me up for promotion/raise saying that there’s no guarantee / not sure if it will get approved — wondering what that means? 🤔 (I’ve been at the company ~2 yrs without any raise/bonuses)

What agency did the Absolut campaign?

Is there any way to get Cannes’ festival pass for free without making your company pay for it? Like the case with Young Lions competition, where they pay for flights, accommodation and the pass.

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

What are some questions to ask/things to look for before the first time you’re jumping ship that helped you decide whether it was worth it (other than remoteness, salary, and benefits)?

So now I have to live with the knowledge that someone named Young Gravy is out there

Somebody please in tomorrow’s WPP Global Townhall meeting ask if they’re going to give us a cost to living inflation raise. A bonus. Gas cards. Anything. They are taking questions. I don’t have the balls. I can’t go through another meeting hearing them brag that WPP has earned millions and millions.

When you're on a date and you say what you do...what are the reactions?

Looking to take a break from the advertising agency world (honestly pretty burnt out on ad land) Thoughts on working at an agency who may be more focused on branding or content creation. Anyone made the jump?

Anyone on here actually in healthcare?

Those let go by Y&R/VMLY&R - did you get severance and how many months?

What is the difference between an account executive and a project manager? When I look at the job descriptions there is not a lot of clarification. Could you enlighten me?

This may sound odd, but can you run an agency without an ECD/CCO?? (Asking for a friend)

I was recently laid off and my client offered to be a reference and wanted to see if there was anything else she could do to support me during this time. Any tips on taking advantage of this generous offer?
