I used the search field for layoffs. Skipped over tech and consultants so only ad agencies. Also know some people who were personally affected, unfortunately.

How many folks are being laid off?

Seems like a handful to around 20 from what I’ve heard and seen posted here. But that piece is harder since the agencies are obviously trying to keep it quiet.

Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise
