Yes. Much better than a salary reduction, furlough or layoff.

If Publicis sent it, yes, it’s safe to assume other people got it.

If the most generous 401K plan is no
longer contributing, rest assured all other holding companies will do it.

FYI This is quite common across America right now, including in house.

My advice would be too forgo working for employers that do not commit to 401K in the future. More and more agency holding companies have started treating them as a piggy bank. The excuse is ready each year. We did not hit our goals, so we will not fund or fund small portion of 401Ks.
