This isn't really Chicago-specific, but it seems like Omnicom is cracking down on RTO again? Heard rumors they may be pushing for 5 days in soon.

That's not even possible. If everyone in our office turned up at the same time, half of them would be sitting on the floor.

Amazon announced today that they will require 5 days a week starting in January. Other companies will soon follow. They know that they will lose some employees, so they see this as a better option than laying more people off. This is clearly a tactic to reduce headcount.

So almost none of those things have to do with being in office. A lot of it is to do with global economics

I’m an Omnicom employee who was designated remote when I was hired. Just learned that they will be letting me go at the end of the year if I don’t move to my agency’s office. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if they crack down hard on remaining workers. If anyone in Chicago is in search of an Art Director, let me know lol.

I remember when my former boss announced mandatory RTO, and then didn’t come to the office himself, while scolding all of us.

Amazons RTO is driven in part by the unions I’m sure. You can’t WFH hybrid when you’re a package packer in a warehouse. It’s easier to have one policy for all employees compared to corporate vs labor
