Oof.

Add to pay for it they understaffed every group and don’t give bonuses to anybody other than the EVPs.

How many people did they lay off this year? And how many salaries would canceling the party have saved? It’s disgusting guys.

It’s been decades of these questions being asked. I was there for the first 5 years of my career and saw 3 layoffs before the one that got me. And every breakfast people would ask if it’s worth it. I don’t have the answer. I’ve seen agencies who don’t throw any kind of party have layoffs so who knows? Would canceling the breakfast save jobs or just add some cash to the bonus checks for higher ups?

Hot take of the week. What’s your feeling on the sky being blue?

funny

First breakfast? New to Chicago? It’s well-known that Burnett has the best holiday party. It’s kinda their thing. People here will argue over best/worst agency in Chicago but best holiday party is never up for debate. No need to go to confession over that.

What exactly are you helping OP with?

Not to mention the people who help plan, already had their plates full with actual work... then add to it the party planning as if they have time for it. I know it’s their choice but some people feel obligation. None of it sounds worth it. i decided to not go this year. Changing my mind about this place.
