Did ya’ll see the chaos at WPP today!? Mandatory RTO - required 16K people to come in and only had 5K seats. People sitting at ping pong tables, on the floor, 1 hour wait for restrooms 😂😂😂

Can't wait to hear and smell you poo in the bathroom while rocking that 1 ply toilet paper.

Global “leadership” should get their heads checked.

I bet you they get an entire meeting room reserved personally in whatever office they decide to pop into.

Ogilvy’s office is SO undersized. Even before this RTO enforcement, you were basically screwed for getting a desk if you didn’t reserve a “hot desk” a week in advance. Know I’m preaching to the choir, but shouldn’t supplying a desk be a prerequisite for asking me to come into the office? Workspace @ home > No workspace in-office, no?

True but they are doing this way too late not with the market and won’t lose half of their workforce. They barely can maintain clients. People leave and so will the work too if it drops.

I understand the frustration, but I know not a popular opinion but I really think going in to the office is good.

Would save me a couple of hours of useless time consuming meetings every day.

Ofcourse they need to provide better seating!

If you're going to call in 16k employees, you need to make sure they have everything they need to start working the moment they sit down at a work station and ergonomic office chair. Anything less, this is just performative BS, and you look like a jackass.
