I agree completely, but I think Simon is under the impression all the American huns will love his international travel escapades. I would also have thought in this day and age a lot can be done via conference calls if travel can be avoided?? Especially right now with the worry of the virus.Tbh I don’t want to sound like a snob but I’ve always seen international travel as something more junior members of staff are sent on? From 21-24 I did a loooot because my boss was in NY, he clearly wasn’t gonna come to me. All my mates in creative fields or agency side were living out of hotels and had sick instas, it’s only the ones that got “left behind” (eg have been in the same role earning the same salary for 7+ years) that are still doing it? They’re also skint, single, and living the same life we all were in our early 20s
most people have healthy work / life boundaries and don’t want to do that, especially not regularly. I see myself as above doing it tbh and would see giving someone in my team the opportunity as a far better use of company money so they can do something new and build their confidence presenting and meeting stakeholders, it’s ultimately dogsbodies work and you’re not adding value you just need to be a living breathing relatively normal person.
I definitely wouldn’t want to leave my four kids to go have a series of dinners and lunches with strangers and talk about work...
Actually, the thread title should just be He is a father. It’s funnier somehow.You’re pointless and he is a father has to be the next thread title!
I find it less disturbing that they put the glitter on their faces than I find their unbelievable excitement about it!!I guess for the same reason kids like to...cos it's fun!!!! (Except when you have to scrape half your face off to get rid of it)...Normal non narcissistic people dont look or act so twatty about it though and don't just do it once a year for the gram. I've been glittering up for years and ain't letting any fake pretentious instafleecers ruin it for me now just because they're all trying to get involved...
Is that where your feet sweatHe can't even get the name of the virus right. 'cornavirus'????
I had to do a crazy amount of travelling for work in my 20s... and I was just a PA! I mean, not ‘just’ as I worked my ass off but it was me that had to traipse around after my boss and it’s hard work landing in a different time zone after a long-ass flight, being expected to be 100% productive when your body clock is out, you don’t really know anyone so it’s not like you’re off out partying every night (No FOD, you’re not so save the Hangover style ‘mad night out’ Stories please) then you get home and have crappy jetlag to deal with and absolutely no time off to get your head straight. I remember all my mates going to see Oasis and The Verve while I was sitting in a shit hotel at Boston airport and just thinking ‘this is just NOT the life’ But obviously FOD will give it the big one, the important international man of mystery that he is!Tbh I don’t want to sound like a snob but I’ve always seen international travel as something more junior members of staff are sent on?

OMG this made me laugh a lotIn a bizarre show of honesty, FOD acknowledges the number of followers he will likely have in twelve months. His mummy and multitwat
You don’t like a snob, you do sound very patronising.Tbh I don’t want to sound like a snob but I’ve always seen international travel as something more junior members of staff are sent on?

omg you’re never “just” anything! I was v good friends with a lot of the PAs at one job and it’s the most intense job going because it blurs the lines between work / life, you’re essentially on call a lot of the time. And you’re often dealing with a mega diva. I looooved hearing the goss but often was sadly privy to some really horrible mistreatments and fucked up shit their bosses put upon them.I had to do a crazy amount of travelling for work in my 20s... and I was just a PA!

I feel since AliceGate the power balance must have shifted and she no longer has any influence over his online activities. Hence he is completely out of control!If I were Clemmie I would be like just stop this now, it’s embarrassing and clearly losing followers daily is not a positive sign so just quit it. They have had their instaglory and now it’s time to put it to bed. It must be cringe worthy reading the comments on his posts and then also seeing the truth here as well. Just why? Give it up please!!!!
Like when Tom Cruise got rid of his old manager, and all of a sudden he was jumping on sofas looking like a toolI feel since AliceGate the power balance must have shifted and she no longer has any influence over his online activities. Hence he is completely out of control!
Funny you mention GQ because I actually worked for the publisher in one of my roles... it ended up being a pretty awful experience for exactly the things you have said in your first paragraph. Still, as you say, some great and very funny stories came out of it! At least FOD will have plenty of time in his hotel room to dream up his next great and funny storyomg you’re never “just” anything!

but yeah whilst their bosses are at SXSW or Cannes and ritzy industry dinners ending up in GQ they’ll be in hotels or rented houses lonely af, it’s actually quite sad.
This #bekind bollocks is just a cover all close down! Dr amputates the wrong leg...don’t mention it just be kind. Your bank allow a Nigerian Prince to empty your account...no fear just be kind. Sky TV want to hike up their prices...don’t challenge them just be kind.So now saying someone's health advice is dodgy is trolling and people should just say nothing and #bekindhe's blocked so many people the ones left are the ones that like his usual contrived humour.
