Because they were two companies and they each had someone with an associate co-chief innovations disruption officer title, and now they’re one company and they only need one associate co-chief innovations disruption officer.

Also they wouldnt have merged if they were both doing great. The idea is to save money, and the best way to save money—when you only care about money and you dont care about people—is to have fewer people and hope you have more money left over.

Redundancy. I was lucky to not experience that. We were bought for an expansion to west coast by another agency who was growing and then they were bought by a holding company and was one of the few companies showing growth for the holding company the next few years so they grew exponentially.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Hey fishes,I'm a mainframe Dev (4.5 YOE) I started off with Tata C and stayed there for 3 yrs, then our BFSI client rebatched me and took me over on a full time role, as part of application takeover. There were no interview for the role. There wasn't even the notice period or any formality, it was a agreement with TCS. They kind of gave me an ultimatum to quit or be fired, due to some policy changes. Kind of a layoff thing, but TCS is reluctant to rehire me. Is there any way to come back to TCS?

Unrelated to advertising but I want to see what people think about this.

And it’s not even out of complete greed, but more allowing people to keep their professions and not having to uproot their lives
