From what I heard, it’s a real snake pit. People act nice to each other but it’s a thin layered facade. Everyone is afraid to make mistakes because it’s actively used against you if you do. So everyone is trying to save their job. And people who have to save themselves don’t have the space to take care of others around them.

I don’t know about the others here, but I still enjoy working at Ogilvy and the people I work with. Yes, things could be better from a leadership standpoint more from a better communication POV which is ironic for one of the world’s best communication agencies but just wanted to say that it’s not all doom and gloom. I am hoping things get better not just here but for Advertising in general.
