Love the WPP response there. Major gaslighting

The most telling part of RTO is that these companies aren’t leasing new buildings for 15 or 30 years. They also don’t believe RTO is the future, so the executives and board look twice as bad.
If you’re in the media and interview Philip Jansen, Mark Read, and Andrew Scott, ask them when we can expect the announcement of restoring the original real estate footprint of the holding company agencies pre-COVID.
Also the fact it’s not tracked and being monitored by managers is a mess
Bc if you have a good manager they won’t care
If you have a crazy one .. well good luck
We’ve been told it’s part of the expectation of our roles (to be in the office) so it will be managed as part of performance. Which means it’s basically on managers to decide if it’s an issue or not. But also could be flagged by others if they feel it’s getting in the way of “collaboration” and affecting the teams.
As an fyi they won’t be able to get away with a bunch of this shit in uk & Europe
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The thing is, I know Omincom opened more regional offices to at least attempt to account for the crowding issue (on Long Island, for example). The whole effort is a ludicrious waste of $$, I agree, but I don't even expect WPP to do anything like that.
Exactly, CD1. I worked at Havas during peak COVID and the CEO *bragged* in the period how much revenue was increasing. Six months later, during the height of the Omicrom surge, we were being pushed back to the office with the promises of it being "better for business." Presenteeism is a costly investment, but it seems to be all they care about.
Do they understand our most talented employees will be the first to leave this sinking ship.
Not for me…just accepted a 2 day a week in office hybrid role with 35% extra comp.
If only our homes and apartments had space to do work.
Stop complaining and be grateful you have paycheck every other week. There are people out there who haven’t found work in over a year
The beatings will continue until moral increases.
MEMO UPDATE:

From: CEO, NY
Date: 1st April
Subject: Neighbourhood Pantries Update
Hello VML NY,
Due recent developments Coke Products have been removed with immediate effect.
Next Steps:
1. Please bring your own.
2. If fridges are full, please bring a cooler box.
3. Cooler boxes act as agile seating, allowing for nimble creative solving meetings.
4. We encourage everyone to bring one to the office to instil a proactive way forward culture.
Please feel free to share any thoughts or feedback with your neighbourhood captain, people team or directly to me.
Respectfully,
CEO NY
P.S. this is not an April Fools joke. Please bring seating and your own Coca-Cola products.
