Depends. Are you seeking a toxic environment devoid of leadership and culture? Are you motivated to do your best work under constant fear of being laid off so that the company can hire yet another ECD?

If so then Ogilvy NY may be the place for you

There’s rotating leadership, which causes stress as senior people always have new bosses. They want to bring in their own people and do slow trickle layoffs which also stresses everyone out. There is also such a focus on awards and proactive briefs it’s difficult to get billable work done as resources are taken away. I’m sure some teams are better than others, but a lot are seeing the writing on the wall and want to get out.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
