Somebody please in tomorrow’s WPP Global Townhall meeting ask if they’re going to give us a cost to living inflation raise. A bonus. Gas cards. Anything. They are taking questions. I don’t have the balls. I can’t go through another meeting hearing them brag that WPP has earned millions and millions.

I left a WPP agency in NYC for a good independent agency and I will never, ever, ever look back.

Now that I see what a 200 person agency can provide to employees without the holding company layer, I’m legitimately angry about the way WPP treated everyone.

WPP is squeezing all of you to line the pockets of their executive team and investors.

I think a better question is “why aren’t you giving us COL raises,” but unfortunately no matter how logical we all know the answer and we all know none of the holding companies will.
