Inside TFM, Ep. 35: Grab Her By The Podcast

Rob Fox8 years ago

So what you’re saying is the guy who invented “TFM” just pulled a big TFM. I respect it. Plus, as Madison mentioned in a DDB podcast, if you get hired by a startup, always take the initiative and try to help the company make money… It’s an unpaved road so always stay woke on the direction of the company. If you’re a writer, surely you know that at some point this is going to end. You’re not gonna be 50 years old putting your kid through college by writing about eating ass. Now, I have no idea where office politics and seniority plays into this but if any of these writers were fully invested in the business, they’d probably understand that the entire writing staff for all sites got paid far more than they were worth(or they’d still be here)and volunteering or pushing management to get involved on the ecommerce side of things might have been a ticket to stay, but again, I have no idea if that was a viable option. If I were writing for TFM and I saw a handful of full time TSM writers getting paid and creating zero revenue for Man Outfitters and practically nothing for RG, I’d be a little concerned about my job security and the business decisions from upper management.
