Emily Gould · 03/09/07 03:00PMNew York's Worst Bosses: In Defense of Faith Popcorn
Emily Gould · 03/09/07 11:48AMFinally, someone has something nice to say about purportedly evil trendspotter Faith Popcorn! "Faith doesn't tolerate bad work or stupid ideas. Yet she's so bombarded by stupidity from her deficient staff she sometimes lashes out." Could this be the voice of someone who was one of Faith's chosen pampered pets? Well, yes: "I think the issue with Faith—an issue that might come up a few times with this project— is that she plays favorites in a serious way. Any boss who engages in that kind of psychological/motivational ploy is going to alienate some people in a serious way." This tipster's final word on Faith? "She's a very unique [sic] individual, and I doubt any ex-employees bitching is going to make her change." From a less-favored current employee, though: "She creates an environment that should be investigated—please help us." Um. We've done what we can!

So, what's this we hear about that pin Faith is wearing in the photo at right, and... hmm... in every photo we've ever seen of her, come to think of it?

Emily Gould · 03/07/07 05:41PMWho Are The Worst Bosses In New York?
Emily Gould · 03/01/07 02:25PMSure, everyone knows about the Harveys and the Annas. But what of the smaller fish in our big pond? You know, ICM's (or former ICM!) Richard Abates, Harper Entertainment's Maureen O'Briens—the Steven Brills, the Jane Rosenthals. They don't get nearly the villification they deserve! It's sad. But there's a solution! Please let us know who you think deserves to be the subject of the next thinly veiled vengeance memoir as we start working on our definitive list.
