Rant I must be in bizzaro land

[suesheboy]

I have never had a period of time when so many people around me have dropped the ball.

Sponsors, new hires, customers, vendors it is at a level that is unimaginable and in some cases having serious financial repercussions. In one case that I just learned about could be devastating - like put you out of business overnight and lose your house devastating for a client.

I am at the point of I don't know what to do...

Doesn't anyone's word mean anything anymore?

The simple answer - no.

I trust no one in the industry today.

All jackals.

I forget to mention I have contacted 3 well known companies (including Grindr) to advertise via their online "system" for advertising. No return contact in 30 days and counting.

WTF?

No it is not.

Mainstream though not as bad is getting there. Most of my problems this month are mainstream.

Maybe I am just taking it too hard, maybe it is just a few bad years of shit piling on me on what feels like a never ending fuck-fest, i just don't the patience and ability to deal with bull shit anymore.

I tend to do multiple channels of business with people that I have a good relationship with. It helps eliminate these initial pains that you are going through. Unfortunately, this method doesn't work for everyone.

I have a running list now of people that I have chased just this year to give money to. It's bizarre. Some people you practically have to beg to get their service. Or call in favors. Yes, call in favors just to get someone to return a sales call.

When you run into an obstacle (other person) keep running up the chain until you cannot go any higher. The chain is not just the company they work for or own. Move above that. Find their suppliers, etc.

Yeah... y'all definitely a bunch of fuckers. That being said... love ya!

I'm getting a lot of the same as well. Lots of companies just not following through with much. Not sure if it's just being stupid amounts of busy or stupid amounts of "I don't give a fuck".

Sounds like you need a long, relaxing vacation.
