This week in layoffs: BBDO NY 😔TBWA/CHIAT NY 😔GSD&M 😔 DDB 😔 OGILVY 😔. Anyone else hit?

So there's a lot of chitchat about people being fired/laid off for the wrong reasons but does anyone actually know of someone who got the boot for the right one? I figure that some of these separations must hold some validity

Holy cow. Meta’s 11,000 layoffs today is insane. If we weren’t knee deep into a recession, we are now.

Hi everyone, really sorry to hear about the recent layoffs. I would be happy to refer to KPMG—please DM me if you’re interested.

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.

Any news on layoffs/recession in banking industry?

Any agency layoffs yet? (I obviously hope not. Just trying to get a sense of where agencies are sitting.)

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Hi there

I am in need of some serious advice. I have been continuously harassed, ridiculed and spoken down to by a coworker who’s now even “threatened” to get me fired etc. We do not have an HR department and the only manager I can go to is also mistreated and not taken seriously. What do I do? I’m terrified.

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

Hey guys! Yesterday the company i worked for laid off the people in our state for economic reasons with no notice. I’m in desperate need of referral in entry level SWE/SD(or similar) positions at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I was laid off, and I am now trying to pick up freelance while also on unemployment. Last week I made roughly double my UE benefits from a freelance job.

Does anyone know if this will disqualify me from future UE benefits, even though it was a temporary, one-time job?

Has anyone heard about layoffs happening in agencies these days?

Ah the great Ad Agency Bubble, your agency is doing great, growing exponentially then boom, clients are lost, there are layoffs and there are no raises/promotions for a year. What do you do jump ship?

Stuck in a weird limbo where I want to leave my job more than anything but grateful that I have one at all with all the layoffs in our industry. It's a new kind of trapped. Anyone else feels the same?

Anyone else using their layoff as an excuse to finally pursue a new career?

Anyone willing to offer a referral to Deloitte human capital consulting? Heard there are ongoing layoffs, but there is a really interesting new job posting which fits my background. Thanks!

Workday HCM Consultants who switched between Accenture and Deloitte, which one would you rate better in terms of work culture , wlb and opportunities. I have offer for S..CON role in D and Associate Manager in D.

Current consultant (boutique) with offers at a large ride sharing company (starts with a U) for Strategy/BizOps and a public company in their data consulting division. Obviously different areas, but the U role is seriously lacking in comp. Anyone else take/consider much lower total comp (~30% lower) to go to strategy/biz ops?

What is everyone’s outlook on crypto? I have some litecoin from awhile ago and wondering if I should indefinitely hold it. Thanks!

If your manager was toxic, would you consider leaving a contract with less than a 2 week notice? Anyone do this? What consequences did you face?

Question to fellow Rep 🐠, how are you dealing with “go back to where you came from” language? I’ve been a lifelong R, but as a 1G immigrant, it’s way too clear of a direct attack against me to vote R

Anyone familiar with Manning Oaks Elementary school? Would you recommend it?

Fishbowl gentlemen, what are you wearing to your holiday party? 👔👗👙👘🎩

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)

@MAL LA creatives, how's your experience been working for apple?
