FCB doesn’t talk about layoffs company wide. Only if it happens within your group. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were and they haven’t said anything.
I know they let go of some UX people right before we started working from home.
They weren’t let go before but I’m not going to “out” their title or dept here if it hasn’t been made public and if FCB is being secretive for some reason.
FCB had several layoffs before the WFH, to counter the client losses of 2019 / early 2020. There's a new President in Chicago, no President in SF, and a new CEO structure across North America. FCB down plays / denies layoffs publicly. By doing them in small numbers periodically, it prevents posts like this one. From my experience, having employees suddenly disappear is just part of the "culture" (and quarterly financial planning.) Probably common at a lot of agencies, even without a pandemic.
Haven’t heard of any at FCB so far.
FCB has layoffs also??
FCB is a lie, no lay offs here, but sorry for everyone else impacted by this.
