I once worked under a showrunner who screamed at people daily, humiliated assistants in front of the room, and called it creative passion. Everyone excused it because the show was good. But watching grown professionals flinch every time he spoke made me wonder if talent really justifies cruelty. Do you think the “genius exception” will ever die, or is it baked into this industry for good?
