Most everyone from FCB wants to quit. There just aren’t enough jobs out there right now for us all to leave. Omnicom wants it this way. They promised significant costs savings and probably the easiest way to achieve that is to just let the people who can leave and find other jobs leave.

I was about to reply to this thread saying BBDO is one of the least creative places I’ve ever worked in my life, but this comment already said it for me.

I’ve worked at a couple hold-cos, and as someone who is legacy FCB now BBDO Chicago, it’s not the worst situation. Aside from being under Omnicom and the horrible treatment of employees and “benefits”. Creative is actually fun and a lot of the people have been here a long time for a reason. Ofc people want to leave in the acquisition for plenty of reasons but grass is not always greener and jobs are limited.
My one call out is some of the teams and people are extremely fake and toxic. If you can compartmentalize work from personal, you’re fine. Just know you might become someone else’s stepping stool.
Are any brands in 2026 still overlooking the buying power of women and treating them like a “niche audience” as suggested below? This seems more like a pre-1980’s issue but curious what everyone else thinks.
