Well, it was our company conference yesterday. And cue much arse kissing, stroking of egos and very heavily political answers that didn't answer the questions asked. They said there would be no redundancies....despite making several Regional Manager's redundant and some Cinema Manager positions as well.
Cinema is performing well which is why no one could understand these cost cutting exercises. At this time of writing 'Avatar' has exceeded the 2 billion dollar world wide box office mark and it's just one of many films that are performaing well. So why the cuts? Well my colleagues and I had an interesting theory. The senior management team are just a bunch of lying cheating greedy cunts.
We did get to see some new film footage though and I can't wait to see Kick Ass! Unfortunately, Prince of Persia looks like a complete load of toss, but you never know. It might be good. Probably not.
The rest of the day was spent getting drunk of our collective asses and trading CVs.
