Sooo there are layoffs and hiring/raise/promotion freezes across the industry, unless you’re a white dude being hired/promoted to CCO / GCD / ECD?

How are all these agencies making these announcements with straight faces?

So far the only people I’ve seen promoted at my agency have been women. And the only new hires have been women of color. So maybe, juuuuust maybe that may not be an acurate generalization across the entire industry?

Look at 72 and Havas this week. All I see are brand new white male CCOs. And my agency? No way we’re going to promote any diverse men or women or hire anymore anytime soon. So no, while it may not be a generalization across the entire industry, it sure is crazy to see especially right now and especially at these massive agencies who should be setting an example. Am I shocked? No. And I annoyed and frustrated, yes.
