What's happening st FCB Chicago? I heard some team members were laid off? Sorry to hear it!

How do you tow the fine line between sticking up for yourself and not talking back to a partner? For context, our firm has seemingly started making a paper trail for layoffs and I disagree with some of the emails that I have received. I want to respond in a way that covers my own ass. However, I don’t want to piss anyone off, especially if I have read the situation incorrectly.

I was laid off yesterday due to change in my departments objectives, does anyone know of any Medicare Advantage opportunities in the Payer Space that align with IT and Operations?

Has anyone else developed a massive paranoia about getting fired? I’m terrified that any mistake will get me fired. My manager is very emotional in their reactions so it’s traumatized me a bit

Anyone around the Philly area want to be friends? Recently got laid off, and don’t have any friends around the area so yeah🙃

Today was my first day looking for a new gig since getting laid-off. I’m already discouraged.

Looking for some insight. I recently got laid off from a growing start up. I loved the culture, the product, & they actually promote their people. I’ve been an BDR for a year at my previous company & then only a month at this one. My goal is to become an AE but now I’m wondering if that’s what I want. Ive been in tech in the Bay Area for 2+ years with previous experience in data management. Thinking of rebranding & getting into partner marketing or anything to get me to 6 figures. Thoughts?

Are layoff discussion being done by HR or Partner? Can someone share what discussion goes on during those meetings? Any chance you can push back or is it too late already?

I got laid off with no warning. Reason given was my utilization was low at 81.8%. No performance problems. Would it be inappropriate for me to apply back to PwC to the teams I discussed rolling onto?

I recently got laid off and it’s been so hard to find a recruiting/sourcing role that’s not for a staffing agency. Anyone know who’s hiring or any slack channels that might be helpful?

Do I book this $600 flight to London in May for 10 days? Or do I wait to see what happens at work (I.e. layoffs)

Fam- recently got laid off and I reached out to my last client for a job and told him that I’m looking to leave D. He replied asking me asking me why are you leaving? How should I reply?

Recession - thoughts on layoffs?

Hi Sharks,

Is a bond for 2 years valid if the company has not provided any training or has spent money on training?

Any help regarding this topic will be appreciated.

Hello Everyone,
I would like to create a schedule for all of my clients. Let’s say I have platinum, gold clients etc. What would be the best way for me to schedule a call for them based on their profile of gold or platinum? For example, I would start scheduling a call every month for my top clients, then a call every quarter for other categories… I need to track the data, and make sure employees are calling them… something that would alert my employees to call such clients. Thanks!

My 3.5 year old got his first pair of glasses and I’m a little worried the prescription isn’t right. Is it normal for kids to complain their sight is worse with their first pair of glasses?

I’m renting in Chicago and am a quarter way through my lease. Potentially thinking about moving and/or buying a condo in Chicago or south Florida - found some condos for a great deal. I know one option is to sub lease my current apartment but any other options? Also any thoughts on if a condo is a wise purchase?

I've been receiving a couple of calls from different recruiters regarding job opportunities. But, after they get a confirmation of my interest in that role, they don't update me with the application process.
What should I do? They don't even respond to my follow-up emails.

As someone who is self taught but going to finish school in two years, what would be my next step? how do I know if the path I’m on is the one that will lead me to a career I love and enjoy. I enjoy what I do know but I want more. I just don’t know what’s all out there but I know I want and can do more 🥵

HR leaders of large companies with multiple locations - do you love your ATS and HRIS providers? Are they one in the same or two providers? If so, do share! ADP is not meeting our needs and customer service is terrible!

Does anyone suspect a bit of an adderall abuse issue in our industry. Some of these people are a liiiiitle bit strung out a lot. So much fast talking, no eating. Or is it just coffee? What’s up?

College is such a utopia compared to real life

Can we *please* agree to stop putting “shit hot” in job ads.

How much time do you take off before starting a new job?

I started a new job 4 months ago. Have gotten lots of positive feedback. They keep increasing my workload, I am now 200% allocated so I flagged this with my boss before the break who was very receptive and said would get me help. Fast forward to me following up and it’s a completely different story - I am apparently taking too long on things. This shook me. We are going to talk more this week. Advice?

What shop is the best in LA and why?

Am I fucked if I just want to do my job (well) and go home at the end of the day? People like working with me and I think I’m pretty good at what I do, I just don’t always have the energy to come up with extra ideas. I guess my question is: do agencies value someone like me at all?

Our NY & LA offices have been working as one — which has meant extended hours. Finally told my team I’ll be signing off early on days I have to work early and, surprise, nobody minds. Feeling proud.

It feels Hunger Games-y that agencies now want directors available to shoot content, but also want photos of them, and the loved ones with them, and their homes, to make sure they’re “camera-ready.”

Are their any good recruiters you would contact for pretty senior roles? I’m burned out and need help finding my next step. (Maybe I need some career coach instead? Is that a thing?!)

(AUS) assuming I’ve no prior connections. What’s the best way to go about getting a job in Aus? Email ECDs directly? Agency talent managers/recruiters? External recruiters? Appreciate any help 🙏🏻

Whoa. Do NOT talk to my parents about politics. 😳

What song has our delightful industry destroyed for you?

Does anyone ever feel guilty crapping on their clients all the time? Sometimes it seems like the only way to handle all of the bs they make us deal with is by making fun of them

Would someone mind sending me links for any resources that exist for those who have been laid off? (Companies hiring/Available creatives). Had some super talented friends get laid off today 😞

Seeing as we are going to be WFH for a while longer... Anyone have recos for remote workout classes (ideally HITT) that can be done over zoom? I’ve used a personal trainer for years and am a confident trainer but have never done classes, let alone remote. Thank ya 🙏🏼

Contemplating a move to Chicago but can't go till December due to husbands job. Thoughts on agencies letting me proactively interview or do I have to wait till Dec for a position to open?

What actually is a "digital extension"?

Does anyone bother writing cover letters anymore? Seems futile and, based on past experiences, doesn’t feel like interviewers read them.

I had an interview with a CD today who sounded bored and unimpressed throughout the call. The slot was for 45 mins but it was over in 20.

How worried should I be?

I love Dr. Pepper Fanville. Bringing back the same characters and giving them a character arc. It would be a lot of fun to work on a campaign like that. Congrats to all who work on it. Keep up the good work.
