Good lord, as bad as I expected today to be, this was worse.

And the choice to get rid of all the people whose job it is to make sense of this shit FIRST is just *mwah*. Omnicom is an Omnishambles (and if you don't get the reference, as I assume many won't, it's got a Wikipedia page).

Wednesday at 1PM was literally my last hour at IPGH as I'm starting a job at a non-IPG or Omnicom shop this week. I'm genuinely pissed on behalf of the folks I left behind that I would recommend in a heartbeat.

It’s been in the news since Monday that this would be finalized at EOD on Wednesday.

NO WAY! Waiting til then feels like they are trying to hide it rather than embrace it
