Sitting In The Outside Seat.

The sad fact is, some people seem to find a perverse pleasure in making life difficult.
They always have to have their say.
No matter what the topic is, or how many people they upset by saying it.
They're like the guy on the train.
You know who he is.
He sits on the outside seat.
And makes everyone struggle past him to get to an empty seat.
You find these guys in agencies too.
For whatever reason, they choose to display their animosity towards everyone and everything.
They don't like clients.
They don't like their briefs.
They poke fun at the work.
They undermine the team.
And they need to be stopped.
At every opportunity.
It's time to remind them that any agency is only as good as its clients.
We depend on them, and we should be a little more grateful that we're able to play in their world.
You wouldn't allow someone to walk into your home a empty a rubbish bin all over your kitchen floor.
You'd be angry.
You'd shout.
You'd remonstrate.
Yes, remonstrate.
That's what you need to do about the verbal rubbish that gets dumped in your ear.
Deal with it.
And fast.
