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.

Anyone stop logging all their hours?
I did and it's killing me because now I'm working till 2 am, but its not showing on paper. I o ly show 8 or 9 hours. But, I would rather not get yelled at from the client or director for going over budget. The budget is super tight, like 1.5 hours per workpaper and my associate already uses all of it. So nothing is left for review. Why do partners do this to us?
