Plenty of parallels here with photographers…
Some say it’s worse than showbiz..
Most All the Winning Horses that run in Horseraces
are Alpha-type Horses or direct descendants of Alpha-type Horses..
That is to say, they’re wild.. rebellious.. warring.. cunning..
hyper.. risky.. fast..
and perhaps even a bit dangerous at times..
..but ultimately they are warriors
who’ll either win, or die trying
Thats really lame and quite a bummer a work environment has to be like that. Thats a lot of negative energy circulating.
I think it was my 3rd day on the job when I experienced my first passive aggressive political maneuvering attack by an editor.
