Division Heads Chat - part 2

Pages 11-20 of the chat.

Michael: I've been studying what makes JME tick for a long time. The secret sauce is the authenticity that Jeff brings.

Tammy: I won't go into detail here, though

Eddie: So I'm going to bang my gavel here and tell you all to get back to the point of this conversation about whether or not Jeff is going to be coming to the event. I'm noticing a lot of grey in this very black and white conversation

Jesse: I’m just afraid Jeff will see it as mutiny

Amy:  Thank you, Eddie:.

Tammy: I know. I've been worried about that, too.

Eddie: I already told Jeff that he shouldn't come to the event and maybe should drop out of the company all together for a year or two and he definitely did not take it as Mutiny you understood my point of view and valued my opinion

Amy:  I would like to propose the following: Request Jeff not attend Wicked at the very least. While we do need other department heads who cannot make it to chime in, I would like to put that out there.

Michael: I thought we had agreed that he should not attend and that someone should call him and say so. We then need to draft a release that shows accepting of responsibility and desire to improve things

Amy:  Yes, that.

Elise:  I agree we can go on without him. Jesse, are you saying that people made shit up to fuck jeff over?

Michael: As a side note, why don't we have these meetings when we don't have a crisis. I think they'd be pretty valuable.

Eddie: I am definitely saying that some of these people are definitely making s*** up to f*** Jeff over. There are definitely some of these people that I was actually there for with the situations that they are talking about that it absolutely did not go over that way. Yes I'm calling the liars

Michael: I will absolutely say that people made shit up to fuck Jeff over.

Eddie: However all of the consent allegations? I don't know anything about those

Tammy: I will also say that people made ** up ti ** him over. And it was timed, and planned.

Michael: Happened way to fast to just be coincidence

Eddie: Like for instance, is everyone going to really pretend that it never happened that knocks tried to use his position to get into girls pants?

*****

Elise:  I doubt the validity of some things, but a lot of it has been documented for months just not publicly.

Eddie: Is there a blind eye being turned to the fact that *****  had so many consent allegations against him that he was almost tied with Jeff

Elise:  Nope. That totally happened.

He was fired for that.

****** was*

Not a big secret.

Eddie: Right. But not sickly nobody's looking at any of that. All of the people who were banned from our company, quit, or fired or suddenly all grouping together to tell us how horrible we are

(sentence redacted)

Elise:  If we "parted ways" with ***** over it, then why not Jeff?

Amy:  ^True

Eddie: 2 thats my friends I call b*******

Amy:  (sorry, that was for Michael’s statement)

Elise:  Some of this is definitely revenge.

Eddie: Once again I'm not saying we shouldn't. What I am saying is that this is not the conversation we are having right now

Tammy: The Avengers are having a meeting tonight specifically because they are causing massive collateral damage and they can't stop it like they thought they could

Eddie: Jesus f****** Christ how do I herd cats any worse than this

Elise:

But there's a lot of truth in things.

Eddie:

If I get some Ritalin will you all Focus

Amy:

PEOPLE!!!!

Elise:

Not enough Ritalin in the world.

Jesse

I’m going to say that there is some partial truth about the two situations I was present at, but people are definitely lying and over Exaggerating things because they were let go from the company, or as Jeff’s partners

Eddie:

Okay I guess I'm just going to sit here and tell people to shut the f****** until you're actually talking about what we're here to talk about

Michael:

I think we already agreed. I'll call Jeff if that's desired. I've been talking to him a few times over the last couple days.

Tammy:

Amy: , do we know when our missing compatriots are able to come online?

Michael:

But whether the situation is one of dealing with an evil leader or dealing with a hatchet job is pretty important.

Amy:

@Tammy:, I don't know. Kim has not responsded.

FOLKS SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT WE HAVE AN EVENT GOING ON IN 7 DAYS.....CAN WE GET BACK TO THE PLAN OF ACTION?

Ok, let's get back to the fact that many of us that are chatting here agree he should not attend. I would like to see Tammy: take over the responsibilities that Jeff would normally handle.

I would like to assist in drafting a public statement with people's OK.

Elise:

They are not done with dinner yet.

Amy:

As for what happens after next Sunday, I don't know.

What we do need to know is what Jeff would normally handle that we need to make sure is taken care of. I cannot arrive onsite until late Thursday afternoon/evening.

So if the others vote to do this, I'd like to have a plan in place so that we don't have all of these extra side conversation.

Michael:

Aren't the operations managers supposed to handle all the details and Jeff just does the gladhanding?

Tammy:

I will be there as early Thursday as I can, but it is a 5 hour drive

Elise:

Jeff waves and kisses babies.

Tammy:

Pretty much.

BUT

There will be questions asked this time.

Michael:

So operationally there's not a problem?

Elise:

We really don't need him. Even he himself said that to us during GKE and GKNE.

Tammy:

Not that I know of.

Elise:

It actually makes the MODs lives easier.

Michael:

That is good.

Elise:

Jeff won't be going around telling people they can do things they aren't supposed to do. We call it "Jeffing".

Tammy:

But we do need a figurehead. Someone even for just the people to prod with questions. Since I do not have an on-site duty, per se, it would make sense for me to do that

Elise:

What kinds of questions?

Tammy:

What do you think?

Michael:

"Where's Jeff?"

Amy:

Infodesk will get questions about the company, Jeff, what happened...

Jesse:

Like hey there is probably a fire up there

Elise:

All operational questions should go to MOD. We need a spin person.

Amy:

I'd like to see Tammy handle the Jeff questions.

Elise:

Makes sense.

Jesse:

Agree

Amy:

There aren't operational questions. These are questions about the rumors, accusations, stuff like that.

Tammy:, I'd like to chat with you about FAQ's my staff will get asked and how we should properly answer.

Tammy:

And business questions, should there be any, would also be ones I ought to fall on the sword for

Yes, indeed, and I may even write them uo with you so we can circulate them

Jesse:

Also I can talk to Jeff as well, been chatting about marketing and our public image than this happened.

Michael: should definitely do it first

Amy:

That's fine, Tammy. Now is there any logistical stuff Jeff needed to do pre-con? (contracts to sign, any of that crap?)

Michael:

Technical question: what is the organization of the Company? Is it an LLC? Does Jeff own it?

Tammy:

No, all of that is all done

It is an INC, and Jeff is the CEO

AFAIL

err

AFAIK

Michael:

Is there a Board?

Tammy:

There used to be

Amy:

Ok, good. Financial stuff is good to go with the hotel in terms of food, etc? Will someone have access to funds at the end of the event for reimbursement?

Tammy:

The eboard used to be Noah, Genevieve, and Jeff

I have will have access to funds

And I am handling food

Elise:

Then it was Me, Jakal, Jeff, Eddie, and genevieve.

Amy:

Ok.

Tammy:

We paid the hotel in full up front

Elise:

What about room drops and paying for those?

Jesse:

And I have one of Jeff’s personal acc cards under my name so we should be good financially

Tammy:

That is attrition and is included in the estimated master bill based on prior years

Circuit 6 is in charge of paying performers, I assume?

Elise:

I know what it is. I did a lot of the research for our contracts. I imagine this year may not follow the pattern. I also don't know what agreeable attrition rates Jeff negotiated.

Jesse:

I believe so we should double check

Amy:

I haven't seen C6's contract, so I don't know.

Tammy:

Let's double check because if not, I want to make sure that gets done properly

Elise:

Those contracts were super vague.

Tammy:

I do not want any more unpaid folks

Amy:

I'll ask Dr Andy if you'd like

Jesse:

Yes please

Tammy:

Yes, please

Elise:

Tammy do you have access to those contracts?

Jesse:

Also before we contact Jeff we need to know from Rob an Kim

Michael:

Shall I call Jeff?
