So I am a Junior AD that is currently employed and looking for my first job. I see that agencies at times have layoffs. Do juniors usually get let go first?

In all the layoffs I’ve seen it’s usually people with higher salaries that have been there awhile. Juniors are cheap and willing to do more work faster and more hours

Depends on the situation. Even juniors can be part of mass layoffs. I got caught in 2 mass layoffs in 2 consecutive years

From what I’ve seen across agencies (particularly media ones), mid-senior levels tend to be let go first. It depends on how each company evaluates the necessity of each level of employee and the overall business vs. financial impact each layoff will have

I’ve seen layoffs at all levels at every agency I’ve been at. I wouldn’t say it’s usually juniors that are first to go. It’s usually under performers, people management is looking for an “excuse” to get rid of for whatever reason, or people who can’t easily be re-homed on another team (due to level or speciality or skill set).

like

I disagree, while under-performers are usually grouped in with the layoffs in order to avoid any repercussions or backlash on the dismissal, it's usually a financial decision and often involves entire disciplines (e.g. we can't afford strategy, or art buyers, or experiential producers, etc.). I've seen entire account teams let go because the client left even though there were amazing people on the team, just no where to place them. Bottom line, it isn't a definitive formula but it always sucks.

like

I’ve seen juniors and low level employees let go simply to offset the high-salary senior staff that was let go, just to avoid ageism lawsuits.

I’ve seen interns get laid off, all in the same day. No one’s safe.

I'm in salary negotiations for a great role, but there's a small gap (~$10k) to even match my old salary. They have most of the obvious benefits like unlim. vacation, low healthcare premiums, 401k matching, permanent WFH, etc.

Right now, severance pkg. and a more senior title are most important. Has anyone negotiated a title bump? Outcome?

Are there additional benefits I should also consider?

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.

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.

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?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big.
