So basically everyone I know is getting laid off in the ad world. It’s pretty terrifying. Also infuriating that all of these people were working insane hours up until getting dumped. Seems crazy they major holding-company owned places couldn’t handle 2 months of uncertainty. Are they actually still trying to make $$ for shareholders? The top dogs getting millions?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
