nearly thirty years ago i saw a guy stand up in an all hands staff meeting, declare "this is stupid", walk out and never come back, and friends, there's not a single day of 2026 I haven't thought of him
Many years ago I heard the story of an assistant in a studio who got up and walked out of a stressful session. He didn't show up the next day and when they finally tracked him down he was on a beach in Mexico.
