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.

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?

I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?
