what really gets me about working here is the fact that aside from doing most of the work around here (events, guestings, servicing, what have you's) is the fact that the company offers no comfort or convenience for all the trouble they cause me.
there is no available vehicle and driver for me and all the luggage they ask me to bring. they refuse to pay for car rentals. i can't take cabs most of the time. they can't give gas money to the artists. they won't even attend any of the events just so the luggage can ride in their respective cars with them. even if they did, they even refuse to wait for anything to be finished so the luggage can ride home with them too.
i sugarcoat replies to artist queries about food and gas money, i am patient with our overbearing tv promoter who complains about his meager fee and his lack of leverage without freebies or envelopes to hand out to his media-friends.
egads, is that it?!?! i ask for little. the artists ask for little. even the overbearing tv promoter would say he asks for little. compounded, it might come out as a lot, but have they no shame? if artists didn't feel indebted at their careers' early stage and if the overbearing tv promoter weren't desperate for money in his old age, they'd probably lose both. and that's probably why they keep losing the bright young things that they hire as adproms. with hardly any benefits, bonuses or increases to look forward to, overtime pay is the biggest luxury that this company has offered me.
oh, what are you to do when circumstances get in the way of a perfectly good, unique and even enviable job?!
