Why I Don’t Write About Layoffs Anymore

For the past several months, you may have noticed that news of layoffs has been absent from the Idaho Ad Agencies blog.  And it’s not an accident.

Several months ago, I made a conscious decision to stop writing about “layoffs, downsizing, staff reductions” or whatever other name you want to call it.  Why?  A few different reasons.

There’s enough layoff news going around already.  For the past year (and more), news of layoffs has been everywhere.  Name the medium, name the industry — it was there.  And that sort of news gets old.  Quick.

It puts a spotlight on those who have been affected, whether they’re ready for it or not.

And, quite frankly, it’s draining.  In many cases, these are friends and colleagues, and it’s hard not to let it get to you.

So there you have it.  If you’re looking for the latest layoff news, I’m afraid to say this isn’t the place you’re going to find it.

Just Because I Can

I’d like to take a moment to say “Thank You.”

To all of you who visit the Idaho Ad Agencies blog on a regular basis.  Who put up with my observations, rants, random thoughts and commentary.

To those who take the time to add to the conversation by leaving comments.

And most importantly, to everyone who does outstanding work day in and day out, giving me a variety of material to write about.  I couldn’t do it without you.

Thank You.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy a few days away from this crazy business.

-Brian
