Firing and hiring
Agencies used to fire people at the drop of a hat. Stirling Getchelās otherwise admirable agency had a turnover in staff of 137 per cent in one year. Another agency fired a copywriter because he dared to talk to the boss in the menās room. Today the boot is on the other foot. The people who work in agencies are lamentably nomadic. I recently hired a 40-year-old copywriter who had already changed jobs eleven times. You might suppose that a business which depends entirely on the talent of its people would take recruiting seriously, but that is not yet the case. In most agencies, the recruiting is still sloppy and haphazard. Even today, it is rare for any agency to ask an applicantās former employers what they think of him. I know two men who were hired and fired as Presidents of three agencies ā without their references being checked. āDavid Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising (1983)
read about darryl george today, a kid in texas who keeps getting in-school suspension for wearing his hair the way he wants to. among all the other atrocities in the world this one problem seemed easier for me to advocate for than others because i know how to find emails and i know not as many people are paying attention as they need to. i know that every email counts.
so i sent a respectful but firm email to the school principal, board of trustees, and superintendent this morning to urge them to stop racially discriminating against this kid and his cultural heritage towards hair. i made sure it wasnt anonymous, i tried to make the email seem innocuous based on its subject line and first line so they would at least be more likely to open the email.
i did everything i could to send an email that would at least in some way get to the ears of those who need to read it.
but i still feel so goddamn powerless. i'm still working within a system that requires i can only really send an email to a few folks to urge them to do better for this kid and his fellow black peers. the system is so structurally violent that i cant figure out how else to help him without also hurting my own ability to work and live. it all feels so bad.
anyway, i just came on here to rant about it. if you're curious, a link with more info is below. also posting the email addresses of the people that i emailed, in case anyone else wants to join me.

Critiques of Paul Farmer!
Hello! Because this blog has evoked Paul Farmer, I thought it might be good to share Sam Dubalās criticism of Paul Farmer too:
http://samdubal.blogspot.com/2012/05/renouncing-paul-farmer-desperate-plea.html
Itās a really great blog post about theĀ āhumanitarianā ethos of Partners in Health, and how it allows PIH to look past its own participation in the counter-revolutionary policies of the countries it operates in.
ā...there is no such thing as neutrality or impartiality in humanitarianism. Ā Didier Fassin, a fellow physician-anthropologist and former vice president of Doctors without Borders (MSF), has repeatedly stressed how contemporary humanitarians shift attention from the causes of violence to its consequences in a way that replaces a politics of justice with a politics of compassion ā in essence, refuses politics for ethics.ā
I feel like the spaces Iām in have always had pretty high praise for Paul Farmer, PIH, his liberation theology grounding, and his writing about structural violence in particular. So - really appreciated being pushed to think about where structural violence falls short, and where itās harmful to talk aboutĀ āsocial sufferingā as though it has no discernable cause.Ā
