Just walked by Havas slowly dismantling their lobby display. Anyone want to take bets on the driving factor? Backlash? Client meeting? Lawsuit for a toxic work environment ?

D. all of the above

But he’s going to claim it was meant to only be a “micro moment" because Havas “moves at the speed of culture”

I can’t understand how he didn’t get fired yet. “Your hate is my anthem” incredible leadership

I’m clearly in the minority here. No change there. But, aren’t we supposed to celebrate Mavericks? We don’t always have to agree with their methods but, hell, this guy is shaking things up - and getting attention (which I’m fairly sure is Advertising 101). I don’t know JP but kinda respect and like what he’s up to

That guy spent too much time in his own parallel world its time to bring him to the reality. He needs to pay and go and let the good ones do the job.

But I wonder how much seeds has he spread over Havas. There's many of his kind in this industry hiding their ineptitude and biting the walls to maintain their status.

I saw in others platform a few people kind of supporting him but of course that people ignore what is really happening. The best case scenario is bringing more ( good ) leaders here to talk and of course, support this poor person that suffer JP arrogance and more.

Joffrey Baratheon was positioned

And add to that the ever downward trend in morale + hiring of cheap/inexperienced employees (that get zero mentoring because there is no leadership) that drag down quality.

He made his point. Time to move on. Nothing to see here. No looking back!

Havas 2

Joffrey Baratheon paying off his buddies of course

Havas has a golden opportunity to clean the house, their Face ID toward of course the industry if they really take care and get a smart strategy and taking the value of manpower in this sketchy business that it will be a big impact! To others nearby. Maybe this is too innocent idea from my end but damn we need to change we need to be clear and humble spot out our own weakness and become them in our best changes to improve and create new paths. We need to say enough of these kind Pirates/Parasites that claim their thrones by others hard work. And of course, avoid becoming in what we dislike.

Havas is your move is your change

This seems like the just de beginning of this kind of issues to any company or industry that still using the old corrupt system of buddies.

Tools are improving but remember that you need to dance as the tech advance, the tech showing us what we really are. In a very technical way but man watches those metrics which we can't fight against.
