wait, does this mean We Are Unlimited are losing McDonald's?

We Are Unlimited is non exclusive now. So they can pursue other clients. And McDonald’s can pursue other agencies for projects. Doesn’t mean it’s over. They aren’t going to futz with the tv/packaging too much. They hired practically everyone at Leo/Arc who worked on it because it’s so specialized.

They’ve been non- exclusive and did some light pitching but didn’t win anything substantial. My guess, DDB will just absorbe them up like it never happened. Doubtful Mcds will let them continue so any of the brand work and just give them the scraps like value campaigns.

we got absorbed... i jumped ship, though. right before the end. no regrets on that one

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
