What is everyone doing to make yourself to valuable to layoff?

Feverishly applying to anything out there. Everyone is expendable in a layoff, especially at a holdco.

I’ve seen long-tenured, brilliant talent laid off and not even be able to grab their stuff from their desk.

Update your resume, reconnect with your network.

“Valuable to layoff” - huh?

I’ve been taking on other projects that have nothing to do with my job. Cross training wherever I can. I’m hoping that if upper management sees me wearing all these different hats, they’ll see me as too valuable to layoff.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
