It's certainly not hiring people, accomplishing anything, or getting anything done. <br /><br />He's been sitting there like a lump in his diversity position for as long as I've been in the industry, not speaking up, and apparently just collecting a paycheck. <br /><br />Wouldn't it be something if all of the pseudo diversity officers at holding companies and individual ad agencies banded together this week and quit in solidarity? Or went on strike until they were given hiring powers? Or got their employers to start releasing employment data that mentioned ethnicity?

Forget the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Forget the unfairness factor. Let's talk about money. <br /><br />Any hope of Campbell Ewald being able to challenge the Navy account in court is gone. Poof, $450m up in smoke. Any hope of them being able to bid on future government contracts is on shaky ground. Let's say, conservatively, $300m in potential earnings over the next 5 years up in smoke. USAA dropped them today. Poof, more millions up in smoke. <br /><br />If I had any money invested in IPG, I'd be pretty pissed they let things get to this point. Scott M. Stringer, the NYC Comptroller, is definitely within his rights to want to know how much danger the pension fund is in, because CE isn't the only ticking time bomb in the IPG portfolio, it's just the one that exploded first. lowDownnoreply@blogger.com
