Apparently, respiratory illness and being absent for a lengthy period of time because of it will not fly at a certain well-known agency according to one spy. Of course, sour grapes could always be the case when it comes to informing AS of something like this, but here goes (and sadly, we can’t take credit for “the pneumonia” part):
“___________, Creative director at ___________ fired a well respected art director for being out 3 weeks with the pneumonia. On top of that, he didn’t even have the stones to do it himself. He had HR do it while he hid out in LA. He has refused to man up and explain to the creative why he could possibly justify it. Sad, little man indeed.”
