Communicating with each other and with clients and vendors will get worse when our bridges and webexes are taken away. But hey we'll save $1M.
Getting anything done--promotions, bonuses, maintenance to our systems and tools, procurement processes, hiring, replacing old or broken equipment, making travel arrangements, expense reporting, and on and on--it's all gotten worse and so much slower since Publicis acquired us.
