Anyone else here bracing for mass exits in the new year once folks realize they have to wait till July or later for their overdue promotion and/or salary raises?

Disappointed we have’t had more townhall updates from 360i leadership alongside setting expectations for 2021 promotion timings (when based on merit, if that is a thing anymore). Also concerned we’ll have a serious retention problem over the next six months.

I just left a dentsu company because it got so demoralizing having to tell my team over and over again that I have no news on their promotions, raises etc that are so long over due. They were miserable but so was I and there was absolutely nothing I could do to fix it other than getting in the weeds and making myself more miserable to relieve them a little bit.

I truly feel for those who are unemployed right now but I also feel like working yourself to the bone at a reduced salary and then being told to be thankful you have a job like the poster above me said is gaslighty.

That’s what was said at a DAN meeting over the summer or in the fall. Next merit / promo cycle would be in July. Might get more info today they’d said there would be Q&A in the town hall.

I feel like people will want to leave their jobs but I think it remains to be seen how many opportunities will open up in the new year. I’m in a smaller market but no one seems to know
