Look, face it, McCann is just not that into you.

I don’t know where you are, although with the merger it probably doesn’t matter, but McCann has been spreading out their layoffs so it doesn’t look like mass layoffs ever since the beginning of summer. Two people got laid off in May, two in July, and a couple more recently. So it’s not a great idea to go there IMO.

I’ve not heard of this myself but I can only assume there’s some hesitancy around hiring right now because of the looming merger. Still super unfair and unprofessional to just outright ghost a person though.

Chances are they’re now receiving direction from OMC to freeze all hires

This feels like everyone at the moment, last week I was interviewing for two different roles at two different places and they both called me within a day that they had to freeze hiring 😭 I don’t know if it’s because of Labor Day is this weekend as well.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
