FCB’s holiday-party email to staff: Stupid Fun vs. Responsible Fun

Every industry is being rocked by allegations of sexual misconduct. Agencies aren’t immune.

Titled “Holiday Reminder: Stupid Fun vs. Responsible Fun,” the note, signed by worldwide CEO Carter Murray and worldwide chief creative officer Susan Credle, said “Stupid Fun in the workplace” becomes “Regrettable Fun” the next day — which ends up, the note insinuates, in potential harassment issues.

Here’s the full email.
