Members of Publicis Groupe’s management board decided to forgo their 2009 bonuses as a “gesture of solidarity” with the company’s employees in these tough times.

Maurice Levy (shown), the holding company’s CEO, left a $3.7 million bonus on the table, pocketing $1.2 million in salary last year. David Kenny and Jack Klues, managing partners of the VivaKi digital and media unit, each gave up $1.2 million in bonus; Jean-Yves Naouri, evp, group operations, $476,238; and Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, $408,182.
