Heard there were "personnel shifts". Were there layoffs, or moving people to different companies within IPG?

Stop spreading unfounded rumors. It’s mostly a realignment within the IPG network acknowledging the growth of the category. Like Omnicom Health, Havas Health and You, Saatchi Health, etc. They have been “merging” back-end functions, like recruiting, IT, and various systems (like migrating McCann Health to from Ziflow to Workfront so all the agencies under IPG Health were covered by one license). I’m sure these types of efficiencies were part of the pitch to IPG corporate when IPG Health was formed. Merging the FCB Health and McCann Health networks would make no sense — the conflicts alone would cause everyone major headaches. I wouldn’t put it past Dana to put her own people in key management positions throughout the network, though. That’s been her style throughout her career to date. If I were a member of the McCann Health ELTs, I’d watch my back.

Haha … unfounded rumors? If you’ve been watching there have been merger after merger within IPG, McCann health, McCann echo and fcb… Dana doesn’t like McCann health and never has. Not to mention McCann health NJ lost 50 million in business last year - who takes the hit for that?

McCann and FCB Cure need to get swallowed up under Area23.

funny

Where did you hear this?

It wouldn’t work purely because they need separate shops to handle conflict accounts

But that’s basically what Neon and Area 23 were — conflict agencies for FCB Health.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card. I haven’t heard people talk about it in the card community and it could save people a bit of money - 10% cash back. I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.
