“Yes, we’re mission driven. But we’re money-fueled!”
I said that (not actually) to a corporate communicator who asked for my help in finding the next fat corporate job but who has never given me or my professional association a plug nickel in all these years.
“In fact,” I added (no I didn’t), “I don’t even know what a plug nickel is, thanks to you.”
Feel this deeply. Might steal (by which I mean quote you like your indelible “otherwise send a PDF” line).
