Serious question: has W+K ever had layoffs in the last decade or so? I don’t think I’ve ever heard about it if so.

Blue shield of CA fired 375 people. Any other insurance companies having massive layoffs?

After 10 years of working as a FTE PM/producer I’ve now been laid off (thanks Covid) and am looking to start freelancing for the first time. What advice do you have for a new freelance PM/producer?
Also, what kind of insurance do you take out as a freelancer?

Anyone else heard of layoffs at Accenture Digital in January?

More layoffs last week at Leo B. Seems they went after more Seniors & $alaries. Thank you France.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

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

Do we really have lay offs happening in zs ?

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?

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Stuck in a weird limbo where I want to leave my job more than anything but grateful that I have one at all with all the layoffs in our industry. It's a new kind of trapped. Anyone else feels the same?

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?

Anyone expecting layoffs due to COVID-19? There’s an indefinite hiring freeze and most promotions and have been paused. 👀

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Joining EY soon. Should I be worried about layoffs happening supposedly in June/July?

I’m going to be going luxury handbag and shoe shopping in Paris and looking to spend around $10K total. What are some classic things you recommend I consider? I am looking at YSL, Dior lady bag, Ferragamo loafers, etc. I want classic items that will never go out of style and are worth the cost

What is the salary range for Senior Software Engineer in Oracle India? And can anyone explain the general designation hierarchy in Oracle?

Does anyone “sabbath”, like intentionally stop all work and rest in what God has done and who he is? For a whole day?

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.

Who is hiring?

Any 🐠 here who have left ClearView? How is life? would you have done anything differently at ClearView to set yourself up for a great exit?

Does anyone know how many rounds of interview are done in PWC?

Question : I want to change career from a support engineer to sales. Is that possible ? I have 4 YoE in technical support and want to change to sales.
Any ideas where to start, and what positions I should be looking for given I have not worked sales before ?

I’m shooting for the moon and applying to jobs I am mentally ready for and can qualify for but my resume is very short sweet and to the point because I’ve worked at the same place for 6 year and climbed the ladder & wanting something new. How do I explain that to my future employer?

Any SFCC Architects or Tech leads looking for a change? I have an urgent requirement in my team. Please DM for more information. Thanks

Anyone at EY notified about H1B results?

Does anyone know agencies that are known for hiring international applicants? If so, which are those? (NYC)

Dunkin or Starbucks?

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Inhouse LA? Any reccos

Drinking Soylent for multiple meals a day so I don't have to waste time getting/making/eating food. Let's see how this goes...

Sounds like an ambush!

I have a great opportunity on the table that’s currently work remote with the end goal of returning to the office 1-2 times a week when it’s safe. However, after the past couple months, I don’t see myself returning to live in the big city. Has anyone requested to work fully/mostly remote with a new offer? How did it go? How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!

Has anyone tried LinkedIn Premium while on a job search? Is it worth it, would you recommend, and why?

I'm extremely happy working at Havas, so it pains to me say what the leadership has done is both embarrassing and demoralizing. (cont.)…

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

Happy, found out most of my team is unhappy, now I’m unhappy, too.

Anyone else feel like avoiding all these spots before the super bowl is an extreme sport? Maybe it’s just me, but I want to see them at game time... reading ahead takes all the fun out of it for me.

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.
