If you were Cannes, you acknowledged holding company voting blocks are a problem, and decided to try to fix it, what could you do? It seems to me like an impossible thing to correct…but you all are smarter than me.

Stop having having judges from holding companies. They’re not creative agencies anymore.

Don’t allow judges to vote for stuff from their network/holdcos.

Right now it’s allowed as long as it’s not where your role is based. So someone from ogilvy US is allowed to vote on something from ogilvy brasil (etc). Applying this rule at the holdco level would make their lives a bit more complicated in terms of creating juries, but the voting would be fairer.

There isn’t much they can do so stop friends from voting for each other, but blocking votes from the same company is a no brainer.

Cannes is rigged. It’s pay to play, and a bunch of creepy guys in speedos voting for each other’s work.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
