A business turned out to in fact be a business and you’re surprised by this? Shoulda gave them the standard two weeks. You don’t owe them shit
Yeah fr never do that. Most agencies will not wait that long unless it's their idea
The same agency you’re loyal to can do a round of layoffs, and you’d be gone the same day. Your agency isn’t your friend. That’s the real lesson
Of course it's about business. It's a business! I think giving advanced notice is a super nice thing to do, but it's def their choice if they want to accept the extra time. It's a risk from a competitive knowledge perspective to have someone who's on their way out stay around..especially if you are going somewhere similar. I'm sorry you feel personally snubbed but you're right - lesson learned!
Well, enjoy two free weeks knowing that there's a job waiting for you at the end of them? I'd say it's a blessing even if you lose a couple of thousand dollars.
2 weeks is literally all you owe them.
Plan a spontaneous trip to somewhere new. Enjoy your time off. Relax and have fun. Take as many self love naps and treats. This extra two weeks is their loss only.
I am so sorry that happened. Do you feel like it would be reasonable to ask them to keep you on even part time for those last couple of weeks? I would feel the same way - like they are taking advantage of your generosity in giving an extra long notice.
it sucks, this has literally happened twice before. They told me to leave a couple of days after giving my one month notice (back in Peru where one month is the standard). They didn’t give me the slightest chance to close the projects I was working on or even have a proper farewell with the team.
Yeah, you kinda shot yourself in the foot.
This wasn't it mayne
Dude, don’t give them notice! Especially, places like Ogilvy, Publicis, BBDO, etc… I had the same experience and I didn’t give my previous agency notice based on my contract. (Just business)
I assume you have never experienced the pain of a layoff. Companies are not family and your boss is not your friend.
Vow to only learn this lesson once.
Given the financial stuff that’s going on at agencies at the moment, I wonder if they’re looking at the numbers and realize you just saved them a (relatively small) bit.
Also, that sucks and seems silly on their part.
Is it possible they have your replacement ready to go and don’t want redundancy?

Your mistake was being a kind, thoughtful human being and giving them extra notice.
Agencies bitch about the lack of employee loyalty, yet they’re the ones who establish the rules we have to play by… and will then complain when something happens to them.
Even with all the goodwill and lead time in the world, agencies rarely bother getting ‘one out, one in’ for any role - unless it is contractually dictated by a client. The work gets dispersed and they’ll see if they can handle the workload with existing headcount without remaining staffers complaining (too much). When it does get too much and the incoming work warrants it, they’ll rehire. It’s not personal, but it feels totally crap if you consider it a reflection of your value. But it really isn’t that. It’s simply a reflection of the nonsense of a business model that commoditises time, and how quickly agencies default to transactional ideas of value despite all their fluffery about ‘relationships’. You cared about your team and you tried to do the right thing by the company. Feel great about that bit, and ignore the rest.
