#retaliation

I was laid off Monday — in a 30-second phone call.

What doesn’t make sense is watching people with multiple ethics violations in a year keep their jobs. I guess being close with HR has its perks.

It’s frustrating when the people meant to protect confidentiality don’t, and when accountability seems optional. Those of us who try to do the right thing end up paying the price.

It’s disappointing, but my integrity is something no one can take from me. I’ll be okay — and I’ll always choose honesty over politics.

Recently on Reddit (/r/AskMarketing), a former Publicis employee shared a LinkedIn post describing alleged discrimination, retaliation, and poor management at the company. The whistleblower claims these issues worsened after disclosing her autism, and named clients like Stellantis and Campbell’s as being involved.

Other marketing professionals chimed in, saying similar problems are common in big agencies and rarely confronted openly. Many applauded the whistleblower’s bravery, while some expressed concern about the risks she faces for speaking up.

A number of ex-employees shared negative experiences about Publicis’s workplace culture and management, with some hoping she’ll take legal action. Most responses were supportive, but there’s a shared skepticism whether anything will change, as people think the agency system shields bad practices unless big clients act.

Has anyone else experienced, seen, or heard of issues like these at Publicis or other large agencies? Do you think public posts like this make a difference—or will things just stay the same?

Things have been going downhill fast since Aimee left — and it’s obvious. The new leadership team, all the way up to the VP level, has completely changed the culture. People are getting singled out, spoken to disrespectfully, and treated like they don’t matter. Morale is the lowest it’s ever been, and good employees are leaving left and right.

You can feel the fear. Nobody wants to speak up because retaliation is real. Those who do are being pushed out or ignored. It’s all about favoritism now — certain people can do no wrong, while others get blamed for everything.

Performance has dropped, the environment is toxic, and the Pulse and TruScore results are going to tell the story. Anyone paying attention can see the writing on the wall — this org is falling apart under the current leadership.

Hopefully this is for the best as I have seen first hand that they are laying off people with years of service to keep their family members hired. Human resources really needs to be investigated for hiding the truth with NDA's and not letting people speak.

if you did get it, is it one of those "are you happy with your job" type of thing? I never respond to these since I get paranoid of being retaliated

I hate the sound of it. In theory it is unlimited PTO. In reality you could be passive aggressive marginalized for taking PTO. I’d rather have my fixed number of days I can take with impunity.

Has anyone else noticed a trend that if a craft files a time claim and win, that one of the members of that craft gets fired?

Anyone excited about the"coffee with J" session next week. Considering the continued beat downs, I'm sure he's excited about it. He'll get all the awkward silence he loves so much as no one will speak up for fear of retaliation.

God forbid anyone tells the truth about the threats and abuse from management.

In the past week or so, everybody got a request to complete a management survey. Is this mandatory to fill out? It would be ideal to fill it out honestly, but I'm worried about possible retaliation, especially given situations witnessed in the past. Does anybody know any details about how this works? Does it count against either the employee or manager if one doesn't respond? Thanks.

U.S. employees should brace for next week’s layoffs. I advise you to get any files you want to keep off of your computer by printing or emailing. Watch for discrimination among the jobs being eliminated by October 1st. Do not sign any documents at the time of layoff until you see an attorney/labor lawyer. I know many of you that will be laid off likely have grounds for a lawsuit based on ageism, gender (females young and old) retaliation, etc. Hold Cenovus accountable for their massive double standards for male vs female employee, and treatment of such during a company downsizing.

It says the data is aggregated and anonymous but doing some reading about it makes me skeptical that it's actually anonymous and that I won't be punished for having some negative things to say about the direction we are going and how much I trust management.

Not trying to lose my job, but would also love to tell them how bad it’s gotten here.

I've been in therapy for months because this place finally broke me. I spent years being a model employee and now it’s all threats and retaliation from clueless new bosses. I’m stuck in a tiny market with a chronic illness and no real insurance options, so layoffs petrify me and quitting wasn't even on the table. I used to give everything I had, but that person’s gone.

I was displaced, filed an ER grievance, and was then ultimately terminated after my Notice Period ended in a clear case of retaliation. While I'm pursuing legal action, trying to ascertain if the bank can now cut off my severance, benefits, damage my employment record etc. I'll know soon enough and will address accordingly, just curious if anyone has a definitive answer.

Welp I made the mistake of buying into the safe and respectful workplace training and reported an issue from the training to HR.

Fast forward - I’m on corrective action, how long until I’m out the door?

Verizon Slammed For Retaliating Against Customer Who Filed Complaint, Allegedly Blacklisting Them And Re-Aging Debt To Hurt Credit, Raising Serious Concerns Over Fairness And Accountability

I work at U.S. Bank for 33 years and was forced to retire. Credit card fraud area is a sham they have new management and the new management has taken the department into the ground. They have lost good employees that have either left the bank or retired. All they worry about now is production. They don’t worry about the quality of work since they opened an office in India in Poland. After 33 years of dedicated service to this bank, all I got was a small face of flowers not even a retirement card congratulations or anything. It’s very sad when you’re a dedicated employee and you leave and this is how you’re treated.

Will they be using their tracking of which Cigna people gave low scores to determine layoff candidates? I assumed so that is why I lied on mine. Who else lied on their survey?

Is anyone else feeling like a certain new leadership hire in our marketing org is steering without a clear destination? There’s been a noticeable lack of transparency, empathy, and strategic vision. Morale all time low and the only remaining talent left is disconnected from the top-level decisions that affect our futures. No one will submit a complaint with the fear of retaliation and organization RIF being held over our heads. Anyone with me?

Keep all your documents. Document everything. Keep a copy at home. Get ready for the force out. And get an attorney if you are forced out. If you are written up you will have to sign that you received/acknowledge it but do a follow up email with why you disagree with the write up. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING IN WRITING. DO NOT VOLUNTARY RESIGN make them fire you as thats better for your law suit and unemployment benefit.
