Here come the choppers...

Saatchi is doing it, Intermarkets isn't doing it yet, it says, others are thinking about doing it, and Horizon.draft.FCB has done it to five people, with a few more possibly to come.

Job cuts are here, folks.

We're hearing a lot of stories about agencies cutting staff, some of them real, some of them probably malicious wishful thinking.

According to some (Team's Shahir Ahmed and Pirana's Shehzad Yunus, for example) there's plenty of dead wood in the industry that's ripe for cutting.

So, could this potentially be what the region needs? A chance to clear out the weak and infirm?

Or will it set things back five years and cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth?
