Goodby, Silverstein Will Cut Up To 200 Jobs

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners will cut between 150 and 200 of the firm’s almost 700-person workers, a source tells us, following a note to employees yesterday in which founder Jeff Goodby said he would be “adjusting the size of our staff.”

He told AgencySpy yesterday:

“Today, we at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners have begun adjusting the size of our staff in the wake of losing Sprint and parting ways with Hewlett-Packard. We don’t divulge the number of people or the percentage of our staff affected, but it’s commensurate with the numbers you’d have for accounts this size.”

UPDATE: When contacted this afternoon, Goodby did not want to discuss numbers, but pointed to his letter, which “really says it all.” He added that, as a whole, the agency really cares about their employees and will do as much as anybody to help them land on their feet.
