As someone who goes into the office daily by choice it’s insane that we’re mandating this at this point. How have we not learned that we are as effective from home, if not MORE effective. Agencies really gonna lose premium talent cause they signed a dumb lease?

It’s also just silly to pretend that quality of life and quality of work are in no way connected. One feeds the other.

Dentsu’s still all remote—no return to office mandates. Happy to connect you with people from Creative department, so you can hear directly from people in similar role to you. Feel free to DM. I work more with new U.S. CCO Pedro Perez (out of Chicago), and really appreciate his energy. Rafa Rizuto will be CCO based out of NYC.

RGA is 100% remote for day to day. Live anywhere, work anywhere. Shoots are not remote always anymore.

I wonder if, when we signed our offers and did the hR onboarding did we commit to time in/out of office? The need to go remote was a government decision and I know I didn’t sign any remote work agreements. Would be curious to see where the legal argument for us back in the office breaks down… hmm.
