corporate psychopaths
signs of a probable CP- manipulative
(if the concept doesn't sell at first try, try, try again till u get some sense knocked into some harebrained clients)
- lack specific goals
(honestly, how many of us have goals, specific some more?)
- superficial relations with people
(erm. u dun say.)
- impulsive
(to client: WHAT do you mean this creative "cannot make it"? pls be SPECIFIC)
- irresponsible
- crave power and prestige
- lack empathy
(who shows us (suits) that when the campaign doesn't deliver? tell me tell me?)
- lack remorse
(lying thru ur teeth to sell inappropriate media space)
- lie easily
(we stayed up all night brainstorming and here's our best 3 big ideas!)
- have predatory instincts
(hullo but i think we do need this to survive)
- cool under pressure
(hey! this is highly respected behaviour for suits)
- seek excitement and thrills
(still allowing changes on ads when its supposed to be in FA, sent for seps and materials due tomorrow)
- take credit for the work of others
- fly into rages
(when prick creatives accuse you of not knowing how to sell creative. ah, excuse me hor but u think i like to keep writing progressives and goin back to present NEW concepts to client again and again issit?)
goodness.
doesn't it mean all of us (esp advertising) qualify for the role of the barmy bustard?
