some things get harder, some things get easier

A few years ago, the ad agency I wor­ked for in New York was sold to Euro RSCG, the inter­na­tio­nal adver­ti­sing con­glo­me­rate.
The week of the paper being sig­ned, the entire agency was crow­ded into this big room, and the then CEO of Euro RSCG, Bob Sch­met­te­rer, our new boss, gave us this big pep talk. We were part of this big glo­bal future that was hap­pe­ning or wha­te­ver.
Fair enough. I kinda saw the vision. It made sense, sorta, at least from a senior mana­ge­ment posi­tion. We grunts were less sure, but since when are grunts sure about anything senior mana­ge­ment gets up to?
So Bob ope­ned the floor to ques­tions. Nobody really had any, which I thought was odd. So to break the awk­ward silence I rai­sed my hand.
