They laid off the whole Marketing Team, renamed the sign maker position as "Creative Lead", and rehired a few back. Mostly the young ones. The CL position appears to be temporary as the duties are very limited, the hours per task outlined, and the creative part is pretty nil. It appears to be a training position to get the TL's onboard to sign their own departments. I'd give the CL a year at most before that job is restructured again. That's why I'm looking for a new job while I retain this one.
It's funny because didn't they eliminate all the marketing positions?
This is lame
Flfallguy -I have 26 years of marketing experience. I was shown the door along with the sign maker during first wave layoffs. It will be interesting to see how their marketing will improve.
Increased marketing efforts? Might be hard with no marketing department. I sure as heck won't be standing out by the road in a bikini holding a sign.
