Dear Team Members,
I try and keep it light around the office, but I have a little bone to pick with some of you. I understand the hours we work and the amount of hard work and dedication you are putting into building our brands into reality changing emotions, but enough is enough.
I'm talking about your families.
I can understand you missed your son's first steps working on the Tar Baby BBQ Sauce pitch. I can feel your pain that your first wife left you and now, you;re starting over again and want to be a real husband this time.
But I cannot stand sitting in my corner office and hearing "daddy, daddy, daddy" from your infantago faced kin. I'm trying to transform methodologies into action and all I can hear are your brats braying.
I think Teddy will second me on this. We've been talking over our daily spfitz down at the Waldorf and we've decided that if you kid comes in to visit you, he'll be put to work in the paste up room. There are x-acto knives there and aerosols that will give you cancer, so watch it.
I believe that we here at TCG have given you enough. Its time you returned the favor, left the chromosomally challenged children at home and sat here and did some work.
If anyone would like to talk, my door is always open. Speak to my assistant, Mary Ellen Coffeehaus or Teddy's, Jamima Lawonda Mourtese Clifton Barnes Panther Brown and they will set up a meeting, but be aware that we have Creative Horizon meetings from 9:30 to 10:15, lunch meetings from 10:15-4:45 and 15 minutes of client post mortems to deal with. I'll compare my schedule with anyone's. Anyone's.
Remember, this is a space shuttler. And if you want it to be the fucking Challenger, its your call.
Lets go grow together!
Theodore Cleotus
