Why would they not want to announce this? It actually signals some attempt to stem the bleeding. They should scream it from the rooftops, followed by an announcement that they’re freezing executive raises and bonuses.

I doubt they’re freezing executive raises and bonuses

Dang. Where did you find out this info?

We’re aware. CD told us

I don't think anyone is surprised.

It’s like this literally every year this time. Hiring, promotions and travel freeze.

WPP is dying. They’ll be an achive of files in a year.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
