• Ari, Ari, Ari,,,you still think that you can blow CAA out of the water by charging in and capturing the William Morris Agency a la Genghis Khan with his “merger” of the far East.

• Don’t listen to the PR machine at WME. Most of them are the ones telling other people not to bitch and moan on this site about how WME is a joke, etc, etc.. Well go to hell. Yes there are some people who got layed off and are firing off on this site and then there are those of us who just don’t like the way the company is run and how they treat people. Life is not fair. We all know this. The rich get richer, blah blah blah. But this site is a way for people to sound off about what is really going on and how they feel. That’s better than having people who were burned going over to Fogelman or Cooper’s house and bitch slapping them. Although that would be a fun thing to see I think it’s better that everyone reads about these errors in judgement that these fools have committed. So to the PR machine at WME – go screw yourself. We will write what we want. People will continue to write what they want. It takes two minutes. I know people inside the ompany and outside that will continue writing about how John Fogelman and Michael Cooper are horrible people. If they want to keep writing about it then they will!!! Unless you have a way of giving us all permission to bitch slap those guys then shut the hell up.

• Ari will get his due…his style of leadership is so old and tired…just wait and watch. Class and respect do not come to mind when thinking of him and his methods. The direction the fractured entertainment business is heading is only going to compound this mess. To have to state in an email that the size of the offices is relevant is a sign of worry. Leadership skills are missing from this email. Little positives about the great opportunity awaiting those of you we kept on board. No…the size of your office, your anxiety, your fears are most of this message…that and the fact that you have to provide your own Kleenix. Better find one of the local DR’s to provide presecription drugs for everybody. This ought to be good. Keep us up to date on this trainwreck.!

• It’ll all come out in the wash… This merger has failure written all over it. When you so blatantly screw with people in public view like Ari did with Wiatt and others, people stop trusting you and you lose your ability to conduct business… People root against you and do things behind the scenes to make sure you fail… Think Ovitz, but he was more successful than Ari will ever be.

• I just want to say its official. We are now having our pay dropped. I currently make $13.62 an hour, now I’ll make $12 because I’ve been with the company for over a year. The pay scale starts at $11 and goes up a $1 an hour for each year. Ari, Rick and Patrick blame it on the economy. I say BS. I think they have to go to their expensive dinners, $260,000 per seat Laker tickets and finally get very rich now that they have conned Jim Wiatt and company. Ari, this really hurts I can’t pay my bills now and I was struggling before. Sure I want to be an agent but I’m poor I don’t come from a wealthy household. My parents are good people and they work hard but they don’t have money to give me to chase my dreams. Did you stop and think about us? Thanks you so much Niky Fink for telling us a month earlier. I just wish I would have listened and moved out of my place. No one was Endeavor gives a shit about the average person.

• It’s been said before and I’ll say it again. If you don’t like your job, your pay, your boss…then quit. I did. Busted my ass for 4 years at a huge agency and quit just before my promotion to full agent. I’ve questioned that decision a few times but will see that it was the best decision I ever made.

  PUT UP OR SHUT UP PEOPLE. Too many others want the job you have and won’t whine about having it.

• Reality check please!!?? On what planet are you “entitled” to anything? No free rides in the real world guys. If you were told otherwise, consider yourself punk’d! Work hard and get rewarded! Whine and cry and get fired or passed over! It’s that simple. WME is cutting edge….you like plain vanilla…move on! Ari rocks!!
