Hi all! I'm a reporter working on a story about workplace culture and how agency employees are feeling ahead of the IPG–Omnicom mega-merger expected to close this fall.

I’d love to hear directly from staffers at Omnicom or IPG agencies about what this moment feels like from the inside. I’ll keep all conversations on background/anonymous unless you’d like otherwise.

If you’re open to chatting, please DM me here. Your perspective would be invaluable in helping paint an accurate picture. Thanks!

How do i find out if I will be happier divorced or more unhappily staying married. 2 kids; 2 & 4 YO. They don’t hear the arguments after bed time and don’t understand the bruises yet but I know it’s just a matter of time. It would be so much harder not seeing my kids everyday than living with the pain, loneliness and lost friendships. But I’m tired. And so sad. Lost. So alone. Does anyone have something that turned it around? He changed? You changed so he did? Ayahuasca retreat maybe?

Hello all, I need one advice.
I am working as SAP consultant for 3.6 years in same company now. I am going to make my first switch in one of the big 4 in SAP only.

Please advise me if I am on the right track.
