He is back...this time in multiple forms. He is not just Chaz calling me into meeting after meeting about where my accounts stand, what i have pending, and so on and so forth...The Accountabili-buddy has become ever present in multiple forms.
It started with an email from the CEO of the company that owns TV station. He began it with a simple economic lesson he cut and pasted from his recent issue of the Wall Street Journal. It then bled into a "we are freezing wages...we are making cut backs...i am taking a 12% salary cut...but i am still flying to each and every station i own in a private jet..."
Our station is pretty trim, and my job is not in limbo, but i fear others jobs are. I have made some new business closes, but it is just not enough for this sinking ship. i just stumbled upon a piece of paper that as I stand right now, I was responsible for 15% of the money brought in November. Between runner and I, we bring in over 45% of all the money in the station, yet we are by far the lowest paid. We see our new found colleagues sitting at their desk, collecting their six figure base, not even caring about making new business help keep this boat afloat.
Anyway, there are too many thoughts in this head about what I have to do about x, y, z client tomorrow to convince them that they should spend what little or no money they have left on me and marketing to people who have no money to spend on them...it is an interesting beast i call a job.
