Pitch update.

One of the things I've noticed through the years, and it's only gotten worse, is that talkers beat doers. In fact, in the modern workplace, doers are so few that senior management is afraid to laud or promote them, lest getting ahead goes to their head and they stop doing.

The processors win. And they keep the performers down.

I can't go into much detail here without getting in trouble. But on the pitch I was just engaged in, many people from all departments had the temerity to show up empty-handed. As in without work.
As in without work they were assigned to do.

There's always something more pressing. Another assignment. Another pitch. PTO. The dentist.

As Yogi Berra might of said, "you can always count on them showing up missing."

I've always been a doer. Always been hands on.

And I'm treated and appreciated less than I was 20 years ago.

Agree. Nature of the business these days unfortunately. And also, people drunk on their own PR who wear agency name as a badge but do little work, just attend meetings.
