    Walk in to the studio this week to see our design director's desk being cleared off. Then a senior designer taken out of the studio to be let go, then another, and another and so on... All told about 80% of the studio gone over the course of a half hour. Objectively speaking, very good, collaborative and high-performing designers with a ton of client knowledge just walked out the door, and upon texting and talking with a few of them, no reason given.

    Of course, the CCO and his VP are hiring in their old teams under the guise of re-org. Clearly mine and the remaining designers' roles are to get this new team up to speed with the client work and then get bounced.

    Love love love this industry.

    • what a gross environment for you to be in now.Gnash
    • None of the titles are the same (technically) I hope they have recourse, but our gov't really dismantled workplace security.ben_
    • The kicker is that they all started today and neither the CCO or VP are here to onboard them. Anyone looking for an ACD-Designer? Time to skrrrt.ben_
