Based on tough economic times is your agency (or company) hiring, firing, laying off or just holding off until next year? Curious about what everyone is experiencing.

pretty sure we're going to receive our salary cuts at the turn of the year... which is probably the beginning of the firing process.
- that would be called "bonus", just to sound nice.akrokdesign

My wife, who's HR Manager at her company, is doing layoffs tomorrow..letting around 15 people go. She's doing it along with their manager. Hopefully no one goes bukwild. She just had lunch with some of them yesterday and couldn't say anything to them.

900 people at adobe got the axe. Maybe they should charge more for their software.

We are two fewer than this time last year. One person left, another got the axe but not for financial reasons. Hopefully that will curb further layoffs. We were pretty small to begin with.
- Hoping for a good raise and a bonus. Last year's bonus was killer, not expecting that much this yr. tho.gramme

Hiring and budget freeze. And the promotion I was told I would be getting back in June isn't going to happen. And my trip to Bread and Butter Barcelona at the end of January isn't happening anymore (they had even set aside the money for it at the beginning of the fiscal year).

we are not an agency, just a normal company, but a few weeks ago they let go 16 people... some who had been with the company for 20+ yrs.

I was just hired on full time and I think we are still looking to hire some more people, but that's only semi-official and my firm is very conservative/meditative about such things (if that makes sense)...

Im in a big agency, and we are doing well globally, and at my office. I hope to get a bonus of some kind.
