Poll to anon McCanners out there: are you happy? Seems like everyone I know across departments is so unhappy here. Coincidence in my sample, or agency-wide? Do we all have the same reasons?

McCann NY is mostly hungover today

Miserable. Toxic environment plus leadership who seem determined to make short-term decisions at the long-term expense of employees

DID THE SUMMER PARTY MEAN NOTHING?!?

It's miserable. Everyone wants to leave. It's an account shop without a creative client. Morale is the worst I've ever seen. Leadership is too busy calling Town Halls to promote themselves to care what is happening day to day.

Not happy. Leadership vacuum on my account combined with client cutting back across the board means morale is shitty.

Performance reviews have been a mess, morale is down and it seems leadership doesn't notice. But... Isn't that everywhere?

Haven’t gotten a review in years. Has taken me months to get someone to talk to me about a rotation. Now I don’t even think it’s worth it. Seems like they are trying to boost morale with petty things. Need raises, promotions, etc

Ironic that this thread is the only thing about McCann that makes me happy right now. Glad to see it's not just me.

@McCann 8 for starters, there are none. Unless leadership gets s bump. I’d like to know when the people doing the actual work will get noticed. Specifically, those on my team.

Loved that MWG survey. Hope you all did it and looking forward to hearing the BS results during townhall!

Here at Commonwealth//McCann Detroit, the Global leadership team lives on a different planet. Not at all privy to the day to day, never present but always “requiring approval of work” before it hits clients. Never responding to emails or requests. No reviews. No promotions (unless you’re VP or above) and if someone leaves, they don’t backfill...they simply shift work over desks. It’s a disaster.

I can vouch for this - 100%. I worked at CW in another market, and they basically got one person to fill my position along with their ongoing duties. They never want to replace talent if they can save money.

@D1 You’re speaking big facts there, same in NY.

@McCann 6 use of that exact emoji is a problem we see everyday here. Fake BS fronts. You know morale is bad, otherwise, you’re too blind to see it.

Super pissed with this guy I am seeing.
This weekend I met him over coffee at his place and he told me he has dinner plans. I asked him who was he meeting and if it's a date bcz he seemed dressed. He told me he is meeting some guy friends and told me their names. My instinct told me he was lying bcz he sounded evasive.
I saw his Instagram story today and it was with some other girl I did not know of or never heard of. She was some beautician who works at a salon. There was no need to lie!!

But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
