Are they reducing the workload by 15%? If not it sounds like less pay for the same amount of work, with less time to get it done.
As if this won't cause chaos...where's Sam? He's only here four days a week. Well, guess this has to wait till Monday.
Said no one ever.
For all the juniors who barely maintain this city’s cost of living, this is morally repugnant and if whoever wrote the memo didn’t develop an ulcer they, with those who proposed this, have already had their conscience completely dissolved in the acid of their bad faith
What about weekend work? If I work 4/5 week days but then have to come in on the weekend ever, I’m going to really resent the 15% pay cut. Unless they start reimbursing for weekend work. Which they won’t.
Wow you have to take a pay cut to opt in to the program? Sure that makes total sense, we should all have to bribe our employers for better quality of life
I’m guessing it isn’t a 40-hours-in-4-days situation? I have a friend at Boeing (I know, different industry) that can do that and keep all his money.
My guess is that the pilot program is to find out who will be the first to lay off
Given that I already work unpaid overtime at night/weekends, no thanks I'm not taking a pay cut to have another day of the week to be on call
I’d say 85% is a pretty good tradeoff, except for the fact that Grey notoriously pays like shit so I doubt anyone there can take the hit.
I don’t get it... Won’t they still hit me up on Friday/Saturday/Sunday with work requests?
I think it’s great. I would way rather have the flexibility than the 15%. I think it’s an amazing change in the right direction in an industry known for glorified slave labor
This is not realistic for creatives. We work 6-7 days a week as it is. So now we’re supposed to agree to get paid for 4 days but likely still work at least 5 or 6? No thanks.
That’s how it is in most industries if you’re only working four days and other people work five why would you get paid the same? It’s not work from home it’s not working that day. What am i missing ?
Grey struggle to keep the lights on. It’s a way to save and avoid to let go too many people. The issue is bigger than 4 or 5 day work. It’s about the agency being relevant or not. Hope the Global CCO has a solid plan because at Grey no one is amazing enough to lead.
@DP1, my best day rate came from Grey NY (and it was a good one), so not sure where your knowledge comes from.
When I worked in government it was great to work four tens and a four (with mandatory hour lunches). Now I work five (or six) 12s (with no lunch). Nice in theory, seems far fetched for this industry.
Congrats to Grey for making it an option and understanding that time is a commodity too.
The one question I have after reading the AdWeek article.... what the heck is the My Morning Zone program??
If any other place besides NY was doing this I'd change jobs. Hate the 5 day work week with a passion. It just leads to churn and busywork.
Agree it’s not realistic. People will just be forced to cram 5 days of work into 4 and it will be a slippery slope of people being asked to ‘dial in for just one meeting.' I see it happening to moms who do a 4 day work week and take pay cuts all the time.
If they want to save $ in a more fair way:
Give one extra week of unpaid of vacation. Deduct it from pay on an annual basis so your paycheck doesn’t take a massive hit.
