So when are the new leaders at (now) Omnicom going to stand up and say these benefits aren’t enough? Particularly those who are parents? Real question- If enough leaders spoke up would anything change?

These are the NORMAL Omnicom benefits. Welcome to the club.

Some Omnicom employee posted that even their befits were reduced from last year.

I mean if the leaders of those agencies really commit and make a bold stand, things will change. Primarily the leadership at those agencies.

funnylike

omnicom make the rules, individual agencies hold no power over ANY decisions. We’ve watched our benefits and time off diminish during the last couple of years. Our leadership are powerless. We’re waiting for the January email announcing further cuts. And looking forward to the 5 day RTO, which is coming soon. Just accept your fate if you‘re planning to stay working at an omc agency. Harsh facts.

You’re very generous with the term, “leaders.”

You can’t really expect corporations to do the right thing because their employees want it. Their employees don’t get a vote. Not unless there is a union or outside laws push them to do it. Let’s stop being naive.

Definitely not defending the OMC benefits at all!! But please do confirm with your HR person, since I noticed on social media that there was inaccurate info posted about OMC parental benefits, making them look worse than reality.

I’ve held some relatively senior roles within holding co agencies and a very senior role at a mid-sized indie and one thing I can tell you is that there are only a handful of people who have any real impact on benefits and they tend to work in hr, finance, and operations.

Many US Ad agencies used to have generous benefits packages in the 90s and early 2000s. HR creeps are to blame as they get promotions and bonuses for being stingy twats. It’s generally an awful business now and over time the indy will lose talent to other career paths.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
