The morale when I came in was not the best. It was because the agency had not been valued.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's definitely a tough blow to your morale to get fired.
There was a point in time when I was in dire need of changing the way the model agency was working.
When I went into GM there was a lack of morale. The company had gone bankrupt and the people who worked there were embarrassed. Underneath all of, though, there was a will to show what they were capable of, but nobody knew exactly what to do.
Morale is at the lowest point since I've been here.
What I got out of it was a great experience working with great people and it becoming a tremendous - basically - a family at the end that none of us wanted to leave.
I lost agents and managers because I turned down big movies that were smutty.
Morale is good; troops are confident; leaders are capable.
I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager.
We are taking a business-as-usual position at my agency, though business before 9/11 wasn't that hot either!
I personally believe this Agency has always been very dedicated and has always worked as hard as it possibly can to do things as safely and as effectively as possible.
