The benefit of trimming payroll while hiding behind some good PR?

like

Unless the entire agency shifted to a 4-day week, this is a terrible idea with obvious logistical problems.

like

If you choose the 4-day option with reduced pay, does anyone think you won’t still be doing the same amount of work in less time, while still having to do some on your unpaid fifth day?

Grey is broke. Don’t get it twisted. This is all about cost savings

like

why can't the fifth day just be an optional day to work from home?
with no 15% cut?

I think disrupting the hours of the workweek is long overdue - especially in a thinking economy -but this is a PR stunt more than a solution.

I’m a HUGE fan of (ugh - kill me for using this word) disrupting the “office hours” standard as I feel it’s dated and unnecessary. That said, I’d be curious to hear from people inside Grey as to how this is actually being implemented, what the actual expectations and results are, and what they feel is the true motivation for this decision.

You can now work all 3 days of your weekend for 15% less pay. Congrats!

@O&M1 asking the real questions. I would definitely clear that while negotiating. If you make me work that day, you pay

Ah yeah @Droga5 I can see how that'd be an issue. Internally it'd be great to go to a 4 day work week, but I can imagine clients will be happy when they want something pushed out on Friday night at 7pm....

If you’re salaried and think about it as a weekday day off, with no effect on weekend days which you work without choice, then it truly is 1 day off in 7. Which is about 15%.

I’m hopeful for them that it will work, save layoffs and keep clients happy. But I’m not optimistic about it working. Donald had a better chance of being remembered as a great President than this working

WPP is merging two of its PR agencies. How long until they do it with ad agencies?

JWT (at least our office) treats Friday’s as a Flex day, where you can work from home (if you’re not required for meetings or anything else). It’s not a day off, but it helps when commutes are long and when you have kids

Hi! I’m at my first bdr role in tech, the company is small and I think daily kpi are a bit hard. What do you think about 100 e-mails, 25 conversations on the phone (not calls, conversation), 30 connection on LinkedIn, 30 messages on LinkedIn? What are usually kpi in companies like salesforce for example?
Thanks

Completed a process for a position about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. They indicated it would be a lengthy turnaround given they are setting up a new fund and building the team top down. Would it be rude to ask for a timing/process update? Driver of me wanting to push is I have moved far along in another process and don’t think I’ll have much time to decide. The slower moving opportunity is more attractive to me but there would likely be one more round there to complete.
