Getting laid off before Christmas 3 days after winning two awards with gold amongst the two, and 2 days before winning one of the top 4. (Clio/D&AD/Lions/LIA) for a silver.
What was the reason they gave??
Getting laid off, then getting laid off again
Coach
Worst horror story personally is opening my front door to get my mail and not knowing a bank robber was hiding in my bushes. He jumped up and pushed me inside while holding a gun against my forehead, which made a circular indent. He held me captive in my own home for over an hour, waiting for his accomplice to come pick him up. Thankfully, they left and were caught two days later. I went to the ER and was treated for shock 😳
Professionally, the worst thing was being called into HR to discuss a well-earned raise and promotion, only to be told my entire department was being laid off effective immediately. I'm still in shock over that, and it was 2 years ago. Ugh!
Made the choice to be closer to the agency. Got laid off with 20K in debt. They blamed it on me not being a fit. Had to move back to my family’s. Recovering strong from this bs.
You must have been paid exceedingly well for your efforts.
My worst horror story was one day at the gym, in the locker room, I sat down to check some message on my phone. I heard a noise, looked to my right, and some old dude was cowboy leaning his one leg that was resting on the bench, hanging brain while casually talking with someone who was standing behind me. Nothing like the horror of an old man's hairy bean bag being no more than 12-inches from your face.
Getting laid off twice, then landing in pharma cause it’s “safer” but sooooo boring.
