Meeting Boy

The Client has seen a big dropoff in email open rates, and to make up for it, they want us to send even MORE email. True story.

I am out of the office this week. You had literally ALL YEAR to ask me for something so don’t you dare text me now.

The CEO had BEDS BROUGHT INTO THE OFFICE, but don’t worry, it’s not for sexy stuff. It’s just totally normal business stuff like keeping all your employees there overnight to do UNPAID WORK. God bless America!

“WHY DIDN’T YOU WARN ME THIS COULD HAPPEN???” at the top of a long thread where, yes, I did warn the team about this issue a month ago. I think I’ll frame it.

That awkward moment when the CEO tells everyone he's bullish on the agency's future, and then the next week 20% of people get laid off. He was either lying or clueless, and at this point I don't even know which I'd prefer.

I don’t think you can call yourself a leader if nearly every day you see something and say “it isn’t perfect so I guess I have to do it myself” instead of teaching people how it’s supposed to be done.

I used to say I’d know if it was worth working for someone if I could see how they treat the waitress and what kind of tip they leave, but I now think it’d be just as helpful to see how they treat people when shopping on Black Friday.
