We just had layoffs so vibes are weird. Some people don’t seem to care while others are really freaked out. Overall think folks are scared about the merger :( leadership seems either uncertain or untruthful about what it will bring, neither of which feel great.

To be fair to your leadership—coming from all of dentsu’s consolidations, you’d be surprised how little they may be read into what’s actually to come. Even function CEOs didn’t know some of the moves being made until 24 hours in advance of massive shifts. There are moves and decisions being made that that they won’t be privy to.

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
