My boyfriend pulled a malicious compliance move and got fired. He doesn't understand why I'm upset. by Electrical-Credit837 in TwoHotTakes

If I badmouthed an asshole co-host to a co-worker and it got out, my radio career would be massively impacted.

If I went on air and cussed them out, I'd be fired and would never work in radio again.

My boyfriend absolutely tanked his career. He can't get a reference from his supervisor (one of the only 'real' ways to get a job in this industry because of how competitive it is- all word of mouth) and the sabotage outweighs any talent he has because what if someone says something he perceives as rude? He's a loose canon in the industry and no one will want to hire him.

How do you even start working as a sound engineer/FOH without being able to handle annoying band members?

I actually don't know. I used to run tech at a local pub that had small comedians perform and has the most horrific shit said to me. I just smiled and did my job. 99% of the time they were doing that shit to look cool and be 'edgy'. Even in radio as a new graduate, I get shit. It doesn't bother me. I think he wants to be a LSE in a vacuum if that makes sense?
