Yes. They have been incredible. That’s honestly the only reason I haven’t been stressing out more is because the leadership immediately let parents know they understood and to do whatever we needed to do and they would support us. I have been so impressed with how this agency has handled the situation and the support they’ve given not just working parents but everyone. They’ve made video calls with counselors available to everyone as well so all employees have someone to talk to. Everyone has enough to stress about right now- I just wish more employers were as reasonable as Martin.
Amazing. Go Martin!
Nope. My calls have essentially doubled. I’m drowning.
R/GA has said the right things in support of working parents. They’ve acknowledged our challenges from the beginning in writing and through the messaging of team leaders.
And they’ve done the right things. They’re load balancing by using the global network to help with staff availability gaps. Like The Martin Agency, there’s counseling availabile. They’ve even spun up a Read Aloud and Show and Tell program for R/GA kids.
The situation warrants honest, ongoing dialogue and they’ve been doing that.
Despite it all, I know parents are still very tired, stressed and anxious.
I had a client say on a call today that he had to end the call at 2 because of childcare and I could have reached through the phone and hugged him. We’re being told to do the best we can and so far I feel supported. But it’s the overwhelming guilt that I’m being a bad parent and being bad at my job that haunts me.
Nope! Nope and no!!!! I was given a comparison statement to folks on my team that does not have children when I mentioned that working home at this time is extremely difficult.
They’re supportive and encouraging but it doesn’t help because it’s not them that’s stressing me out per se. it’s juggling working full time and parenting a baby full time. And while I can do work on “off hours” I’m also a client lead on three accounts so accountable to clients to be available to them too.
@RGA the kids programming seems v smart. We’re having lots of conversations about the stress levels, the impossibility of it all, and generally trying to make the best of it. One of our department heads was with us on a call and her son had to use the restroom. We went along for the ride. This is real, this is happening to all of us, and it helps to have the leadership just acknowledge how we’re all feeling, and recognize the additional pressure we are all under. Our leadership team has been very empathetic. Shit’s crazy right now.
No. Work has doubled, lines are blurred, the word “proactive” is being thrown around a ton to set expectations. If they think they are, they are not communicating in a way that makes me feel supported. Instead, I feel I’ll be let go if I’m not constantly on or, as they say, “proactive”.

Thank you ❤️ hope it gets better for you.
Yes, extremely understanding. Encouraging all of us to take care of our children. Flexibility is the new way and it works. Took a minute to stop the self-induced pressure and guilt but once you let go everything work & life gets better.
Somewhat. There is a comfort level with hearing a child in the background, and the leadership said it’s fine. However, my spouse works (in healthcare), and I have to take care of three young kids at home. My stress level is intense, as I am constantly juggling and compromising. I carry out long client presentations and struggle keeping the little ones taken care of at the same time. My leadership offered to replace me on my account. This was an offer I hessitated to accept, as I worry it will reduce my job security. 😕
Yes.
