I shared my very real experience about working for an Omnicom company here and it was reported for abuse.

Imagine how I felt working there. What a perfect bow on top of this whole situation.

Someone is reporting abuse even when it’s not true. Happened to me earlier this week. So weird.

unfortunately it was a smaller one of their agencies. i'd absolutely be known and I don't ever want these people back in my life.

the agency barely exists anymore. as far as i'm concerned, they got their penance.

I’d be interested to see it too. I realized I made a huge mistake within the first month at an omnicom agency. Still there after a year and change, unfortunately. I was laid off at the time, and severance was ending. I wish I’d waited it out for a better fit.

it honestly wasn't much, it was a general note of my experience (bad) and compared it to the twist of the show The Good Place.

i think i got auto flagged for a slip of profanity, but it's near impossible to talk about that place without wanting to swear

That’s nuts, sorry to hear. You should post it to Reddit.
