Another Tactless Remark Causes Rift Between Talents

In a bid to become a strong network, Competitive Station (CS) started recruiting the brightest stars and those who showed strong potential in the industry. At that time, CS knew the personalities to recruit and banking on the unmatchable terms, these targeted personalities soon signed up with the network. However, competition was tough and only those who remained relevant lasted. Thus, years later, the investment of CS was realized, as most of their original recruits brought in advertisers and viewers. Those who showed resilience were given priority, while those who wanted out were shown the exit.

When one of these Original Recruits (OR) wanted a change in her status in the network, she immediately sent feelers of her proposal on how she would spend several more years with the network. Contrary to rumors, OR has no plans to move elsewhere. Thus, OR pitched in new concepts that would showcase significant locations in the country. However, CS wanted more time before it agrees to the proposal of OR. Given the times, CS believes in a wait-and-see attitude until the incoming government has strongly set foot on leading the country.

While OR has already sent her informal suggestions, she is not the only one who has fallen under the category of waiting and seeing. Other personalities have gone on breaks for professional and personal advancement. This gap in their career at CS could spell boon or bane, as there is no assurance that he or she will be welcomed as warmly prior to the hiatus. Thus, Another Original recruit (AO) is sort of under this predicament.

Even though OR and AO have brought in millions to CS, they still both fall under the cliché that one is only as good as the last project. Nonetheless, the doors of the executives of CS are always open to OR and AO. Yet, between OR and AO, certain executives could not help but show loyalty. During one instance, AO and Influential Executive (IE) were talking informally. IE mentioned to AO something about the plans of OR. The side comment of AO shocked IE. Allegedly, AO said, in jest, if OR is still relevant given that her movies performed below expectations and her last program did not generate as much ratings as desired.

After hearing AO express her comment on OR, IE had to reflect if AO were indeed telling the truth, merely joking, or was just plain tactless. However, IE realized that the thought of AO was not a joke. AO was serious and IE then told the story to OR. Immediately, OR unfollowed the social media accounts of AO and every kin that was her friend. OR has always been kind and accommodating to AO and did not allow politics to interfere, but AO’s pronouncement surely was a turnoff. As soon as AO realized she had been dropped, she removed her name from the social media accounts of OR. So as not to appear obvious, she also unfollowed other celebrities.
