I just wrapped a project where the crew got cut a week early because the budget “ran out.” We all scrambled to finish, and then I found out the execs extended catering for talent instead. It makes me wonder where the line is between creative needs and money politics. Have you ever felt like budget decisions devalue the crew? Is there anything to be done about it?

Sounds like a bad set of management, to be honest. I don’t know if a day passes that I don’t hear something about the budget. That being said, it is up to wiser minds than mine to make sure everything is running smoothly.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
