I also heard from someone who worked there that there were massive layoffs across departments the past week or so.

Also worth noting that the global CEO said quite recently in a high profile interview that he believes account management roles won’t factor heavily into the agency’s future model:

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included).

Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
