Mass redundancies here in the office, they have told us that we might be made redundant in 2 weeks. Now we just have to wait and see who up for it. But Im one of 3 and the other 2 have been here for 5 and 8 years while I, only 14 months :(

Sorry to hear that Kiko. Might be good to know where you work, maybe you could drop a little hint or something. Is it an onliney sort of agency, or a brandingy sort of place... maybe a trad graphicy sort of place... big or small? well know? international? national? regional?
but anyway... chin up. It'll all come good in the end.
- it's a large Digital Agency, in the top 15 in UK, 300 employees.Kiko

Should be fun in retrospect I imagine.

It seems that all that stuff about recovery was a bit premature. As far as I can tell, we're still on a downward slope.
- yeah Publicis, Agency.com to name a few have made massive reductions.Kiko
- yeah, recovery is hilarious. we haven't reached bottom quite yet.airey
- agency.com folded didnt they?gentleman

Just out of interest, does anyone know the current status of 35 Communications? They announced they were merging with Conran Design in September 2008 and their website has not been updated with any news since then.
If a communications agency doesn't post any news for 10 months, it must surely be a bad omen.

Kiko, have you got any post redundancy plans if the worst happens?
Interested to know what people's redundancy contingency plans are. If I ran out of work (maybe any moment now!) I'd probably just buy a one-way ticket to Thailand...

By the way, the guy sweeting the floor on tmw's website looks a bit prophetic?

Aren't we being just a tad bit sensationalistic here? I'm hearing more doom / gloom from western Europe these days than anywhere else. Is it worse there than in the States or Asia?
Sorry about the job Kiko.
- cheers :) Yeah I have seen it creeping over industries here, wonder how far it will go.Kiko

Hey I like the word 'sensationalistic' .
Its like turning 'sensational' up a notch on the dramatic scale.
