+ We actually have a lot more fun than this poor shmo, but oh my god, we’ve all been there.

Haha.. very nicely done. Like the 21st century version of this
Been there, done that, didn´t care about the t-shirt.
I´m sure I´ve missed several of the inside jokes apart from the obvious ones (like guru meditation and the moose comment).
Cool.
Business school grads love this guy. This guy has a work ethic and a need to get things done correctly. This guy covers for bad decisions and management that can’t summon the backbone to protect its talent from client abuse.
This also pays for management’s third house, second mistress, and grandkids’ trust funds.
I try not to be this guy any more. It’s why I’m not management.
Perhaps. But this guy is also the first in line when new opportunities emerge. He’s the one who gets the “lucky breaks,” because he knows that his job is to make his boss look brilliant for having hired him.
That Mike is right!
Granted, Mr. O. But if this guy gets little of the credit or remuneration for his labor, is personal satisfaction enough to pay the rent? Are you happy with the fact that award shows consign your category to a 1-minute montage with deadpan narration by an overpaid starlet?
Creatives regularly get taken advantage of, because we love the process of creating. But considering the relative amount of work put in, I have a slightly different definition of the word “opportunity,” depending upon how well my employer regards what I do for them.
In my experience, most of these guys get paid fairly well, and that’s the reason why they jump through the hoops that they do. You usually know the job is dangerous when you take it… don’t you?
As far as… am I happy about my category at award shows being consigned to a 1-minute montage with deadpan narration by an overpaid starlet? YES! I go when ever I can!
Hey, as far as being taken advantage of… the doors right over there, I can always look for another job. I’m a pretty good short order cook! – Doug
Glad to hear you guys are generally compensated fairly for your time. That’s mostly what I’m ever concerned about, because I’m primarily in dead-tree publishing.
Would I put in long hours working for folks like you? Hell, yes. Would I do it for just anyone? Our survey says: no!
Sign ‘em up!
Call me?
Loved it! Except the Guru Meditation error. That one made my heart skip a beat and wonder if I’d saved.
Classic. I love that skit, eh.
Well, off to Louisville to meet up with John at WonderFest.
Thanks as always, and enjoy your week-end Doug!
