I think the most important analysis you made was your belief on what is fair:<br /><br />"There is no fair or unfair. What you end up getting is what you have the leverage to get."<br /><br />That realization helped pave the way for survival for me in the film industry and in business.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Daniel LayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-22497859909361771072016-12-08T13:20:20.479-08:002016-12-08T13:20:20.479-08:00SHOW US WHAT YOU GOTSHOW US WHAT YOU GOTgoodboihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614106808777449699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-78486941801229749512016-12-08T02:09:06.499-08:002016-12-08T02:09:06.499-08:00

Jason Macleod, the new business representative, plans to keep the doors of this one open, and at some point I'll kick in thoughts, ideas, posts.<br /><br />But not now. I'm doing one last post today, since today is (was) my last day as Business Representative. And then I'll step away for awhile.

You were one of the best at reporting them and did so without being unbearable like some other animation news sites. It was certainly nice to see your posts every day.

We are in an odd economy now where employers cheat employees, rampant with agism,cheapness. greed and there is nothing anyone can do about it. You have done the best anyone could under these circumstances.
