Obviously Omnicom. They’re treating their employees like human trash they’d like to dispose of.

Omnicom and Stagwell having quite a battle for the bottom. Think it will change every quarter, but Omnicom is there now.

I’ve worked at all 4 at this point and I would rank in this order from best to worst: Publicis, WPP, Omnicom/IPG. You couldn’t pay me enough to work for Omnicom again.

It's Omnicom; They are the worst, most heartless, money-hungry, back-stabbing corporation on the planet. Their plan for survival in the coming year is to make everyone so miserable that they quit. That way, they don't have to pay anyone any severance for kicking folks to the curb after 20 years of dedication and diligence. Then, They can outsource for all of their cracker-jack creative solutions. They dislike American workers and artists more than all of the other holding companies combined. I'm sure they're very proud of the dumpster fire that they've created for themselves.

Ironically, IPG started it all in 1961, when the existing McCann-Erickson agency restructured into a group of independent operating units reporting to a new parent company. The first evil corp for advertising.

Omnicom even before the merger. Publicis is best / most set up for success.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

Just saw a post on LinkedIn where the ECD of a mid-sized agency praised a large group of employees showing up to a shoot and acting as extras and principals for free for a client spot. He is super proud that for the team rallying together for work that “wasn’t even that interesting”…This doesn’t read as teamwork to me, it reads as the client exploiting the agency and the agency exploiting it’s workers…it’s a job not a school project? Or am I just overthinking this? Maybe?

Hi all.
