lol does it even matter? Havas is about the bottom of the barrel creatively and I wouldn’t see that changing.

That’s surprising, hasn’t she been there for over 25+ years? I think she started as an intern and worked her way up. Wasn’t a fan personally but good for her for moving on.

She was a blast if she liked you. No idea why she left but her note suggested it wasn't her decision, or at least not planned. She'll land fine, and without the stench of Hellvas, she may even get better. But it could be a wild ride for her. Only knowing 1 place for 20+ years could be in for a rude awakening. My guess is she steps into CoLab or does the the 1-year plan at Grey or The Bloc like everyone else.

Curious where she lands next. I can think of a few smaller agencies that are in need of a CCO.

She just announced on LinkedIn that she’s the new CCO at Digitas Health

That is Publicis

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.
