Was it only IPG agencies that took a hit with this merger or did Omni friends get hit too?

Both. Neither side was spared.

🥺 oh wow

Can confirm. Was laid off from Omni side last week.

So sorry! Which agency?

Were people from BBDO and TBWA laid off or people at DDB?

TBWA has been slowly laying people off the the past 6 months and not rehiring people who’ve quit.

Omnicom agencies also had layoffs. Mainly non-client facing roles thus far.

I was laid off today. Very much client facing…

It honestly depends on the office and region. Sometimes it hit Omnicom more, other times IPG.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
