Think this new CEO is the antithesis of anything 'creative'? Is it time to clean up the house at WPP? Love how she's like - here's what I said...

Calm down. Her town hall was really great. How can you possibly say anything bad about her??

“Antithesis” pretty negative language … let’s celebrate her being future forward

Yup just buzzword vomit. None of these C-Suite have a clue on what to do.

It’s a good thing clear communication isn’t a part of your job.

No single executive is the antithesis of creativity. It died off when it lost all value to clients and agencies couldn’t get out of their own ways to monetize it.

I don’t work at WPP. But I’m pretty sure anybody but Mark Read at this point will be good for the network.

Her success is going to be inextricably linked to the efforts of everyone who works there. Some will push harder, some will stonewall. Would just be nice to see some kind of change and success in this industry. Cuz it’s looking real bleak everywhere.

We’re seeing it in many companies. Many execs/c-suite just like Mark slept walked their way into the AI grift and used their workforce as fodder.

It is pretty funny. “Our town hall was an opportunity for everyone at every level to voice their opinion. Here’s what I said.”

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
