I got Laid-Off this morning- OMD Canada - Omnicom

Hi guys, writing in a state of shock and sadness, that I have been laid off from my Assistant Strategist role at OMD Canada.

Reason for termination- "Business Restructuring", I just feel it might be another term used for Merger and offshoring work.

Additionally I was told that I would have another meeting on Thursday with the HR to discuss my relieving package. Would really help if anyone can advice what other things I shall do, what questions or things I need to do. I have the laptop with me. However my email access and sign in access has gone. How will they reach out to me now?

Took 10 minutes for the conversation and all I was able to say was okay, during the call and as soon as the call ended I just cried for a while.

My first job after graduation, taking up all the tasks working after hours, going out of the way to get work done. Feeling sad and in a state of confusion that now even junior roles are being cut off, I literally didn't even have a pay package I should be boasting about.

Making strong relationships with everyone at my office was a best thing I could have done.

Reaching out to my network, hopefully people have been replying and feeling a little motivated that I will get back on the track soon.

Please if anyone can reach out with any Leads for junior roles?

Thanking again to this community, looking ahead with optimism 🤞
