Vindication
About a month ago I wrote about a particularly brutal job I worked on at Radio City Music Hall. Afterward, despite the fact that the show itself was a major success, and there were zero hiccups in my department, my boss was emailed a very harsh letter about my performance on the show from the producer.
I give my boss a lot of credit for not reacting before he had all the information. Yesterday he emailed me and said that he asked someone else who worked on the show what they thought. They said I was fine and that they also received a copy of the email and that they didn’t understand what the producer was talking about.
That someone is one of the “premier” stage managers anywhere. Let’s put it this way, when he gave me the instructions and preamble for this job, he said that I needed to really work hard for this person. That they always did the Oscars and the Grammy’s and that his reputation in the business was outstanding. He never mentioned the director or the producer by name, he only told me to take care of “Gene.”
And despite the fact that Gene and I only exchanged a few words, and all of them were regarding the show we were putting on…Gene none the less, and knowing me for only a finite period, has taken care of me as well. Vive Gene…I pray he continues to do so well.
