Is it beer o clock yet?
jkrewdotcom: ugh so get this shit... I'm obviously freelancing at ogilvy and there was a position that my superior (AD) told me was potentially opening. It was pretty much what I was doing here to begin with but I guess they decided they needed to hire someone full time
So, I've been busting my ass for damn near 8 months here working 60+ hours etc etc
anyways, a month ago, the boss asks for my salary requirements and it was taken pretty well when I told her.
fast forward to an hour ago at a company wide creative meeting where the creative director announced he was looking forward to a reply from someone he was excited to hire after they had given that person an offer
and the person was to be hired as the spot I was going for.
How fucked up is that shit. Wouldn't even fucking tell me to my face.
workis4jerks: Good God.
What the fuck is that.
Sounds like it's time to leave Cleveland steamers on desks.
jkrewdotcom: yeah dude. so here I am wanting to slap her in the fucking face and walk out right now but a) I need a good reference and b) I don't have shit for money to support myself if I did quit right now
workis4jerks: Wow, what a weak position.
(that's what she said... to Khoi)
jkrewdotcom: hahaha
workis4jerks: Sorry to hear it, man.
jkrewdotcom: meh, thanks
I hate this industry
I really don't want to do this anymore

People who work the hardest always seem to get shit on. In this world nowadays, it seems you are required to fail to get up the ladder. It's so fucked up and so incredibly unfair.
What the fuck? "People who work the hardest always seem to get shit on?" I only hear that from the people who get shit on. People who get shit on always think that they work harder than everyone else. Most of the time, it's not even about working harder. It's about working smarter.
If JKrew spends 60 hours on a project to get it done and the other person spends 40 hours and both produce kick-ass projects, I would rather hire the other person that takes only 40 hours to get the job done.
dear anonymous #2. jkrew spends 60 hours on a project that would take most people double that time.
