Blame leadership and the culture they have established.
Yes!!!
I can’t tell you how many ADs can’t properly layer a PSD or design to spec, and then turn around and say it’s not their job. I’ve watched account people and producers literally open PSDs, make the required edits, then export/submit to vendors/clients. What kind of madness is this?
I once had a CD not know what a hex code was.
Having worked there I’ll tell you there’s zero focus on talent retention at the top
Even in the lower rungs, the competent, capable performers work themselves to the point of complete burnout while many incompetent folks simply coast, saying that certain work is beneath them and relying on the far more capable doers to actually do the work. It’s really horrible to watch
The best is when they say talent/people are their top focus. Then they do nothing to actually back up their talk. They take away raises, pile on more and more work, increase healthcare cost every year and start chipping away at even the most basic perks.
My agency is struggling to find people, but do nothing to try and retain the good folks they currently have. I really don’t understand it. They don’t value creatives, they don’t provide career development even though they say they do. They have really poor and sometimes toxic middle management and nothing ever changes.
That’s what happens when “numbers guys / gals” run the show.
For what its worth, its not just Publicis. Same happening at Edelman, and other (once) top firms. It’s a tragedy.
It is worth noting that clients are not helping. They put pressure on to do more for less. This creatives profitability issues that roll down hill. Don’t let account and sales teams win by discounting to beat the competition. Fight for value now and walk away from bad deals that win, but create talent debt in the long run
This is exactly why I left Publicis
The people running our tech department mPlatform are like Dads at a Disco, absolutely clueless. insistent on suffocating anyone with an opposing view. Two ex CEOs who think that by wearing jeans to the office, buying a few bean bags and talking about KPIs they are now running a tech startup in the valley. As a technologist it’s soul destroying to see the way leadership is appointed within technology departments of agencies and holding companies. Jobs for the old boys.
Those would be straight Dads, right?
Because though it may cost a company more in the long run, hiring crap is cheaper in the short term. Gotta make those quarterly numbers for the shareholders
It’s happen at my agency too. I assume this is the norm?
This is a systemic issue, there are simply too many agencies spreading the talent pool too thin.
The other issue is that crap floats to the top, whilst the talented folks are too busy executing to play the political game.
So true and we all know it, but it still hurts when it happens. I’m so tired of making the work happen while the crap continues to get so much support that they have free time to stick their heads up managements behinds and get promoted.
Can’t say I miss that garbage fire. Good riddance
Funny enough, everyone hates it at my company and feels the same. Literally losing the ppl that get fed all the best projects while the rest get scraps; that's how bad it is.
My agency leadership says it’s good for us to have people leave. No specification on talent, level or tenure. 🤯
They’re dropping like flies from my shop, too—which seems unusual this far into Q4. We haven’t countered anyone, but we’re also full of shi$ and say that our people are what make us great
