Clearly, no one in this thread has worked in the ad agency business.
In fact, the old adage for my industry is, "You haven't been in advertising until you've been fired."

I've gotten downsized/laid off. Where does that fall?



Same here. Let go from my last job with about 25-30 other people. It was a govt contractor and they kept us on payroll for another month while we were looking for work. Sucked but they ended up closing the doors for good last year so I'm kind of glad it happened to me when it did. I've been in my current job about 3.5 years and never been happier with work.

I've been laid off, the company was in major trouble and they laid off everyone in the department except one person. That one person resigned and they called me offering a 20% raise to come back but I already had a job somewhere else.

Never been fired.

Worked at Brewbachers. Had to reschedule an accounting final last minute which conflicted with work.

Was told if I didn't show up for a shift, I wouldn't have a job anymore. I didn't show up.

I think that is about 80% quit, 20% fired.
