Attention Fan-terns: No Autographs
From this in-house memo, one may assume that Warner Music Group's employees and interns are stalking their own recording artists around the offices. Evidently they get the dumb interns out in Burbank at the Pinnacle Building — surely this sort of heinous in-house stalking would neeeever go on in the fair city of New York.
"TO: All Employees in the Pinnacle Building
One of the perks of being together in this new building is that we often get to see our artists in person. For some of us, this is a new experience. We have already been treated to some great live performances and look forward to more in the future.
However, with this privilege, comes some responsibility on the part of all of us. If the artists are here for the purpose of meeting with, or performing for, us that will be announced so that all of us will know that this occasion is one at which it is appropriate to come see the artists and ask for autographs. However, often times the artists are here for other work (i.e. interviews, photo shoots, videotaping, etc.) When that is the case, they are entitled to their privacy and they need to spend their time here doing the work that they came to do. Therefore, it is not appropriate to congregate in the areas where they are or to ask for autographs or photos.
We appreciate your cooperation in following these basic rules of courtesy that allow this to be a good working environment for all of us, including our artists."
