Sign Anonymously to Make Your Voice Heard - What Ever Happened to "Your Office?"

It's not too late for Drake Cooper leadership to do the right thing and remind its Employee-Owners that Employee-Ownership does come with benefits. It's stated in the company mission - DC's True North -

"Build and foster the greatest place to work so that people are able to create the best, most effective marketing & advertising imaginable."

We've seen record growth, client wins, and profitability in the years since "Your Office, Hybrid" was an established policy. To remove it breaks trust with EOs and goes back on prior promises.

Why is this important?

On May 20, 2022, Drake Cooper zigged when everyone else zagged, and promised a flexible, hybrid workplace policy titled, "Your Choice, Hybrid."

"Drake Cooper is Your Choice, Hybrid. What we mean is, it's your choice. We are not going to force anyone to come back into the office, but we are going to maintain an office space..."

In the years since this announcement, many of us have moved further from downtown to save money on housing, become healthier than ever before because commuting time could be spent dog walking or exercising. Maybe you expanded your family, or added a furry friend into the mix. Maybe you passed up higher pay because you were so proud to work somewhere that broke trail and put its employee-owners first. 

This flexibility is a paramount piece of Drake Cooper culture, and taking it away for the benefit of collaboration in office is capped when so many team members work remote across the country and client calls are near exclusively virtual.
