Full disclosure: I was only working 36-38 hours a week at this point which was following the schedule I was given when I first started, which was 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a lunch in between. I pointed out that when I still had the web shows, I worked 50-60 hours, and I was happy to put in the time if I had something to work on, but I wouldn’t do it just because they wanted me to, especially if they just wanted me to ‘find something to work on’.
So that was that, I decided it wasn’t worth it anymore and didn’t fight for my job.
You hear so much that AEW is a family atmosphere, but clearly that experience isn’t given to everyone.
And the people who work there just normalize this behavior. I would constantly reach out to friends, former bosses, etc. to ask ‘Is this normal?’ because there were times that I believed that maybe I was the crazy one.
Months after I was gone, I had casually made reference to a friend in the company about one of my coworkers leaving. He left before I did, so I figured it was old news by this point. Apparently it wasn’t and it caused some friction, so I got texts from 3 different people from a company I hadn’t been employed by in 2 months, STILL trying to control me by telling me not to talk to talent. And I actually got accused of being desperate to be “in” by a person who reminds social media constantly that they work for AEW.
I’m not going to sit here and act like I was the best employee ever or that I edited anything groundbreaking that I didn’t receive credit for. I definitely had flaws, like getting distracted and talking too much, or editing at a slower pace than the lead editor. And I’m not going to act like I only had negative experiences. I met some amazing people and had some great experiences along the way.”
