Is the rumor that Omnicom is sending fake employment opportunity emails to smoke out people looking to jump true? Does anyone have any proof of this?

No proof but there was a LinkedIn lookalike email sent out as a phishing test

Yes, can confirm this is true. I got the email about a week ago and just deleted it.

Yup, got the email and immediately marked it as junk. It's likely posed as a phishing test but hard not to speculate that they're using it to weed out the folks who are looking to leave.

Yes, as a “phishing test”.

I would be surprised if they were that organized. I’m sure everyone at omnicom (or really anywhere) would bite at an opportunity to leave for a better job. It’s not like they need an excuse to cut people?

Got one back in December as a phishing test

Yes, and certain departments started training their counterparts in Colombia this week to eventually take over their jobs once they get them up to speed. It’s a cruel company. I feel sorry for those people.

I started a job with a restaurant as part time they hired me at a higher wage but after working for one week the other manager came to me telling me that they can’t afford what the other manager and I agreed on so now i have to work at less or I could look for another work options, she meant I should leave otherwise. What should I do?

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.
