RE: UKNM: Job Cuts

[Darren Wallace]

Nope.


In my case, my former employer - Discovery Networks Europe  -

www.discoveryeurope.com

made it's *entire* interactive division redundant (with the exception of the

hd. of the european division), as part of a major switch from focusing on

narrowband to broadband.

That also included me, as European hd. of online sales.

This was as a result of a global decision, made by the US hd. office.

Approx. 50% of the 200 members of the US online divison went, as well as

people in Latin America and SE Asia.


A real pisser, especially as I'd only been there for 2 weeks!


As you might expect, I've been far more aware of the state of the jobs

market in the last few weeks. It seems to me that in the last 6 months, our

industry has shed more jobs than in the 6 years that I've been working in

it.


Cheers,


D.

Subject: UKNM: Job Cuts



I notice that agency.com are now shedding staff, following in the

footsteps of Razorfish, Icon et al.


I imagine this comes as bad news at any time of year, but announcing it

just before Christmas is particularly poor timing. Are these job cuts

affecting all departments - designers, techies, account staff and all

- or just one unfortunate group?
