@stefano There should not be two tracks, 'management' OR 'technical' and I find the culture very irritating. The best people keep their hand in, how else do they know what is going on?
@stefano This is a very common scenario. My own manager has said so, and I have had the same experience since being promoted.
How is already Monday, dammit!
A possum got into my recycling bin and could not get out. He's still sleeping in it.

An interesting musical curio is Sting's original demo for Every Breath You Take (he turned up to Synchronicity sessions with fully-formed demos of most of his stuff; the bellwether for the end of The Police). Andy Summers absolutely hated it, until he wrote *that* guitar part and the rest is history. #music

@Alice I like this
@HebrideanHecate Rather embarrassingly they have put these cultures on a pedestal.
@HebrideanHecate I had to read 'slave market' twice. There is an economic system around selling people there. In 2024.

@HebrideanHecate Oh, the good guys
I expect there are some legal protections they are abusing here.

@nigelharpur@musicians.today @kibcol1049 My brother in law worked in a rehearsal and equipment studio as a backline tech. He said much the same thing.
@nigelharpur@musicians.today @kibcol1049 The music biz can be weird. A lot of dysfunctional people in it and i can see how someone no-nonsense would rub everyone up the wrong way, but at the same time, mean is mean.
@nigelharpur@musicians.today @kibcol1049 I was told she is Democratic. She treats everyone terribly.
@kibcol1049 I had a family member in the music biz. I have heard many, many things about Sharon Osbourne, none of them good.
