A lot of companies are getting examined for their toxic culture, but few share the progressive bona fides of Omnicom's GMMB, the political ad and PR agency whose founders helped elect presidents Clinton and Obama. As Sean Czarnecki reported, its reputation has attracted scores of people of color to work there, but what they found was a workplace that was rife with what sources called systemic racism. From Sean's story:They said GMMB added employees of color to pitches for big accounts like The James Irvine Foundation, the Gates Foundation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, even though those employees were responsible only for administrative tasks.

"At the time, I almost saw it as a good thing," a white former staffer said of this practice. "We want to reflect our diversity and values. That's how senior staff present it. I bought into that until I had this conversation with a Black employee about what it feels like to have their face on random proposals they didn't have a hand in.
