Winning new biz doesn’t mean instant money from the new client. Sometimes contract negotiations can take between 3-6 months and even then, the client pays monthly, sometimes up to 120 days after the first invoice.

Worst thing is when they lay off those who actually worked all weekend on the pitch, the day after. #BBDO

Yeah, the addiction to new biz is a stopgap for a dieing business model

It’s possible that they were at such a deficit in income that the new biz was just a drop in the bucket

It’s possible they could need a different skillset for the new account.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning.

So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
