Attitudes

I remember an incident last year where a producer's reaction towards the production house left very little to be desired. As a believer in Christ, she encourages others not to work for them. When I receive that call, I was so disappointed. I wanted to tell her as a fellow-believer in Christ that such attitude is wrong, but I didn't. I always believe that whether we are explicit about your faith or not, we should be salt nad light of this world. That doesn't mean we let people abuse us and step over us. If we felt abuse and unjustified, speak up and try to clarify. If the situation is bad, walk out and let it be, but stop encouraging others to boycott them as an act of revenge.

I do boycott some companies esp those that promises heaven but give us hell. We may warn others about working for them, but that may be an isolated incident. In the case mentioned above, it was the "big news" of the industry two years ago when some members of the crew went as far as to the small-claims court to get their money (where they usually end up getting only a fraction of the total amount). After talking to an ex-staff of the company, I was able to sympathise with they company, although I do not appreciate being paid late. Apart from one job, most of the other jobs (from the same company) were paid promptly (it usually at the mercies of their client).

I do not have the luxury of being promised work monthly, let alone daily. But the Lord has been good and has filled my schedule on a week by week basis. I cannot simply reject work based on a bad-reputation. The only way around it is to talk to the producer and agree on a concensus and mutual understanding that will benefit us both.

In my life, Lord, be glorified!
