Oh god I didn’t even think of that.

Yeah I heard R/GA was having layoffs in NY and SF offices. Brutal.

RGA gave 4 weeks severance pay (most cases - I’m sure some people got more) and is covering healthcare through the year for everyone.

Can confirm layoffs and furloughs at Ogilvy in NY and NJ

I will say the best younger creative I worked with in the few years before leaving Ogilvy came from the la office. So it could be ny is where the big problems are. Some really awful top folks there, Of that I’m sure.

Aww I'm so sorry to hear. Are any south African offices affected?

V3 are you in Joburg or Cape Town?

How many have to leave JL and is it mainly creative?

About 20 folks in total. They dissolved the Project Management department but the rest of the losses were scattered between creative, design, and account

The next busy season, my engagement teams will be assigning 2 entry levels and an experienced staff (who has never worked on this team).

It’s similar on another engagement team too.

Hello! I was a part of the recent round of layoffs and literally just found out we’re pregnant (around 6 weeks). Should I be looking for a new job or wait until after the baby is born? On one hand, if I wait until after, I fear it’ll be so much harder to break back into the tech industry and on the other hand, I would feel bad accepting an offer and then going out on maternity leave a few months later. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)
