Omnicom is not, IPG rules most certainly will probably change when the Omnicom merger goes through

like

With acquisitions, staff reductions are expected, and RTO will be used to help accomplish this. It is easier than layoffs. For some employees, there may be opportunity to work out of different Omnicom offices, and I know many people who already do this.

Dentsu is pretty remote friendly. Office once a week

likehelpful

Only have to go in 1x/week if close to NY, Chicago or Detroit offices. But will probably change with the new CEO (and if we get divested)

Dentsu is a sinking ship but you only have to be present on deck once a week

likefunny

WPP has a 4 day/ week in office requirement if you’re in a market with a physical office.

Mastercard is their only global win this year, but they’re hemorrhaging business

I mean IPG is remote friendly now, but stay tuned...

Dentsu is your only hope

None of the above are friendly. Some are remote though.

Isn't WPP like 5 days a week now

4

Def not WPP

I mean nobody really follows the 4x a week lol at least on my account and it’s not tracked

Probably average 2x a week
