quit a 50k a year job over social media lmao

cliffs:

fat ugly weird white lady works at New Beverly Theater for 8 years as ticket taker and stocking candy
Only made 14k in 2013 at 35 yrs old
Tarantino becomes new owner, and promotes her
She gets a raise of almost 4x her previous salary, as well as benefits
quits because they wanted her to sign an NDA, and social media is too important to her

And I was being promoted to a salaried manager position! I made slightly less than $14,000 in 2013, so the thought of making nearly four times that – with paid vacation and health benefits – was dizzying. Living paycheck to paycheck and being on food stamps at 35 years old is a sobering feeling – one I was ecstatic to say goodbye to.

I was, as far as I understood it, to be the public face of the theater – to conduct guest interviews, run the social media outlets and to be front and center in the box office – the first face that the customers would see.

I take my box office position very seriously. I feel that it is my job to welcome every single person who walks through that door, and make them feel like they are part of something unique. I get to welcome them to the coolest movie theater and because I genuinely love the place, this task is a delight.

I was so excited to tell everyone about all of the exciting upgrades the theater was going to get!



Instead, a social media muzzling was immediately ordered.
I was not allowed to instagram, twitter, facebook, blog, or in any other way talk publicly about what was happening with the New Beverly.
I am a very open person and love sharing my life online. It hurt to ignore the dozens of emails, phone calls and texts asking me what was happening with the theater.
If I ignored you, I’m sorry.

I was censored.

This social media muzzling eventually became a confidentiality agreement that I refused to sign which would forbid me to say anything at all, on any public forum, about my job, the New Beverly Cinema or Quentin Tarantino.

Ever.

Any violation of this agreement – and they would be constantly monitoring my social media outlets –was grounds for immediate dismissal.

Why would you want to silence your employees from saying good things about your business?
Because that is all I would ever say about the Bev.

This monitoring soon became physical as well – we were welcomed into work last week with cameras absolutely everywhere. Not only watching the box office and snack bar, where the money is, but the manager’s office and projection booth as well.

We weren’t being protected, we were being watched.

this comment on her blog made me though

"Julia – I do feel sorry for you and please don’t take this the wrong way.. but it’s very clear why you were demoted. You are a nuisance. You refused to sign a confidentiality agreement that was obviously important to them. If you don’t understand the reasons why they maybe wanted to keep some things under wraps from the public during the revamp and can’t understand business, then perhaps you are not management material. As much as everyone loves the arts, there is a business aspect to it. And again – no offense.. but if you are 35 years old and still live on food stamps then you are clearly not capable of running a theater. You are an able bodied worker who has CHOSEN to live off the government for your own pleasure of having a low paying job at a theater. Taxes will be taken out of my paycheck so you can keep serving popcorn and living it up. I’m sorry but you need a reality check. I for one, am excited to go to the theater and see the improvements the new management team has made"

Ken went in:

"I suspect you were angry about the cameras because you could no longer post things on facebook while you were at work, they’d see you. As far as refusing to keep you as a manager and your refusing to sign an NDA? Are you out of your mind? You obviously have issues with your self worth because you need to post your entire work and life to social medial all day and night, this new company which Tarantino has built is trying to do what they see best, you are in no position to challenge them, it is theirs, if they don’t want any social media, so beit, it’s not your position to say. You blew off a 50K job because of social media, you are an idiot, nobody cares, you aren’t important and you definitely are not irreplaceable. I’m sure whoever they hired will do a better job than you and they won’t be online telling the world about all the drama and gossip you have become so fond of. Get a life, see how yo ur internet addiction has ruined you?? More is coming if this last round is an indication."

I used to hear stories of folks not wanting to improve their plight in life because they were on Section 8 and a bump in their income raise their rent or knock them out of the federally funded housing program. Don't know if this is the case here but it could be an factor.

Why the fukk are people reading that blog in the first place, that's what I want to know.

Seriously though, if she wasn't happy with the situation/contract/anything, that's fine. Nothing wrong with having principles. Complaining about it online as if it is unfair and you were somehow wronged, that's what makes this woman a dumb cow. Like the comments some of you already posted, shyt is just a part of the business. You don't have to be cool with it, and that's fine, do you, but don't bytch about it as if they're the problem.

Which is crazy. She doesn't see anything wrong with that either. People have their priorities all fukked up.

Then again, I'd love to go to Europe for a bit too.



As for the section 8 bit, I doubt it. Most people don't want to get a raise, because the raise isn't big enough to them to outweigh the benefits of the program. She was getting almost 4x her previous salary, and benefits. You can get a decent apartment with over 50k in LA. She just seems like a self-absorbed a$$hole

...im happy i have ambition....im very close too digging my self out of that bullshyt min wage lifestyle


this bytch is a loser, i know ppl in their 30s working part time retail...going home playing video games

 

[Virtual Ninja]

I don't know a thing about this, but I suspect the reason for the NDA maybe was partly QT was going to use it for private stuff, and she would be there...not only did she lose the money, can you imagine all the cool stuff you would get to see if you kept your big mouth shut? Not telling what groups of people would be there to screen stuff or convos etc....and if they took a liking to you, maybe you could hear it or talk to them a bit. Any movie buff would kill for that opportunity.

Maybe I'm wrong about that, but he put his own name in their for a reason I would guess.

thread title should have been. "turn down quentin tarantino's offer to quadruple your salary, brehs"

he threw this weirdo in the unemployed lady storage

 

[winb83]

for the raise to 50K from 14K I would close all my social media accounts if they asked in the office right in front of them.
