Just heard the news about Omnicom’s impending layoffs. How likely do you think this kind of news will come from WPP as well? I heard that finances were solid but you never know!

Likely will be an agency by agency choice. WPP has already instituted cuts (like no travel, no freelancers, no promotions or raises for the remainder of the year, leadership salary reduction, etc). VMLY&R is following suit (and is doing away with summer Friday’s in 2020), but zero plans to lay off or furlough any full time employees.

Grey is going to do some furloughs, I’m sure it’s going to happen at the rest of WPP as well, but on an agency by agency basis.

We’re doing well and have a lot of CPG clients so I hope it’s limited for us.

Are the furloughs indefinite?

Just because finances are solid doesn't mean holding companies won't get greedy. As a fellow WPP employee, I'm trying to plan for the worst.

Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?

Hi Fishes,
I got offer from persistent with 31lpa.
But most of the compensation they added into skill bonus-1400000. Due to that my basic salary is low- 50k as compared to my cctc basic salary, which is 63k with 19.5lpa.
Is it normally happening with everyone joining to persistent?
Can Persistent increase basic salary component and reduce the skill bouns?
I asked hr to increase my basic, but she mentioned that it’s system generated and standard format, vary cmpny to cmpny.
Plz help me out guys.
