It’s the end of the quarter, gotta clear out some cost to make their Q1 profit numbers
VML are starting to get a bad reputation for their hiring practices. Lots of jobs advertised for months on end that never seem to get filled. I've been through this at another agency, wanting to give the impression they're trying to address their staff issues but not actually doing anything about it.
Like what the fuck is the point of doing that? Why not reach out to offer them the opportunity to go FT? You already had a dedicated employee who knew the processes, the teams and the work.
They were drunk, and now that they're sober, they're rushing to make everything right.

Maybe the agency wasn’t happy about them?

Almost never the case. You're a number on a spreadsheet.
Sounds like the CFO is making decisions without knowing what the freelancers do. Happened to me once during a major campaign with a ton of freelancers. All released on a Thursday to keep costs down. No one told the creative leads or account team. Work couldn't get done with the small staff we had. So we had to hire all those freelancers back on Friday night and have them work on the weekend at higher rates. CFO didn't think their brilliant plan through. I caught shit for having such high freelancer costs on that campaign.
Cheaper? Where they FT positions?
Nyc or kc??
