I’ve heard mixed things overall, and the merger seems to be a work in progress. Leadership’s still adjusting obviously, but I think things are starting to settle at least a little bit. I"m not in the KC office but I hear that it feels like some good changes, with some new energy. How are you feeling about it? Any specific challenges you’ve noticed?

I don’t work there. That’s why I asked. Thinking of applying.

It has been fine. Honestly the Barkley and OKRP offices had very different clients so there hasn't been much of a difference day-to-day, though my team gets to work on agency-wide Burger King briefs so I guess that's cool? Seems more of a bunch of shifts in leadership than people at my level.

One thing I will say: it may have been a combination of the Barkley and OKRP brands, but from a back-office perspective, I'm not sure how much changed. The two agencies are owned by the same private equity firm, so I don't know how much of a "real" merger it was in terms of where the money is going.

Appreciate the insight there.

Anyone know who the recruiter is at the Chicago office?

Ok so I was carless -- I was assembling my new bed frame and one as I was grabbing one of the long parts; I set it vertically and my fan was on and hit the edge. I literally just moved in 5 days ago and I already scratched these pristine fans, I'm irate and I want to fix it.
Is there any kind of paint. or is there a way to polish it so it doesn't look as bad :(

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
