Former CFO of Ad Agency Grey NY cannot find ANY job

December 30, 2009

Evidently the former CFO of Ad Agency Grey NY Jeff Boose (linkedin) cannot find any job, including flipping hamburgers. It’s reached the point where his family question every dollar they spend, sometimes eating pancakes for dinner and borrowing from their parents to pay the bills. The USA today is reporting

This states many things, first and foremost however is the fact that this recession is the worst any of us have seen since the great depression… and in some industries such as advertising and physical locations such as Detroit it’s exceeding the levels of the great depression.

God help those that work at an Advertising Agency in Detroit because there is very little hope of them finding another job in the region.

But Jeff Boose isn’t in Detroit he’s in New York. Advertising Agencies have lost somewhere between 14-35% of their workforce in the past 600 days.

This is the economic environment we live in now. Where a man that earned $400,000 a year now is eating pancakes for dinner to save money.

What a mess. Someone give this man a job.

    Poor guy. He's probably honest, that's why Heekin canned him.

    someone give him a job??? he was making over $400K. someone give jobs to the OTHERS that his work rode on, he was a CFO that relied on the creatives he o.k.'d to be fired (HR has their approval to get and their orders to follow)… i'm sorry for him, but there are a lot more people out there deserving to get their jobs back first…

    a friend of mine (aged 63) was a type director at one of the biggest shops (gave his career to this one shop), 1 and 1/2 years away from retirement (only 16 months) and was unceremoniously dumped, cried on the way out…

    let's keep this in some sort of check, please…
