New round of layoffs at Digitas? Nice. Maybe you need to cut some of the fat that continues to be protected for some unbeknownst reason!

We have a Philly office?

Philly is Digitas Health. It's not real Digitas, it's part of Publicis Health. Totally separate.

Publicis continues to collapse into one shrinking agency. The acquisition spree of digital agencies was truly a failure of epic proportions.

As with the first round this year. There are significant problems with leadership and yet that's not where cuts are made. What a shame

Good points DLBi7 about Publicis doing just as badly if it had not acquired Digitas, LBi, Razorfish, Salpient, Rosetta, MRY, etc. Buying these was an okay strategy. However, the epic failure was in the integration, or lack thereof. Publicis missed the boat on how rapidly digital would scale, and kept each agency separate for too long. Second, Publicis didn't need to buy as many of these, and at the exorbitant valuations paid, to get digital capability needed. Any one of the above digital agencies plus investment in staff development, brand, organic growth, and infrastructure was the right thing to do, rather than Publicis' shitty strategy was of owning 4 of 5 agencies responding to some RFP. Yes, you bat .800 but think of the massive duplication of effort depleting resources and grinding staff down to get there. So no, I don't blame Rosetta's leadership whose hands were tied by Paris, I still blame Paris for a lack of integration savvy.

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.

Any tips? Expecting a meeting with hr - I’m confident I’ll be sacked soon.

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program? I’ve been here for 4 years and I’m thinking of obtaining my Master’s in Organizational Leadership, but I feel like with this merger, if I started the program and then there are layoffs or too many new hires, or work just becomes overwhelming, I wouldn’t be able to complete my program. I’m already wearing multiple hats when it comes to work. Does anyone have insight on how it works/what it’s like? Thanks in advance!

Hi Fishes,

Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!
