Did I miss an official announcement about the new GM at iStock?

It's eerie

And the sycophants Pollyannas here:

I hadn't read that post.

Apparently iStock is succeeding in the sycophantic comments business as it is in selling stock licenses! A grand total of 26 comments? The virtual tumbleweeds are blowing through what's left of the iStock "community"...

Judging by the number of people who post here asking about an iS question which is easily found on their forums, not that many are left.

Rather her than me. Anyway, the To Do List (which is of course subject to change as is the person in the GM role)

- Return my sales revenue to at least 2012 levels
- Drag the PP program and your IT infrastructure into the 21st century
- Overhaul your donkey of an uploading/keywording process
- Teach your minions to engage with the community in a civilised/professional manner
- Treat us like the shareholders we are as opposed to dimwitted peasants
- Make Lobo your footstool
- Stop fiddling with the collection. It is what it is and customers pay for the image that suits their purpose/needs irrespective of whether an exclusive made it or an editor thinks its nicer than everyone else's.
- Build up a Vodka stash in the filing cabinet. You're going to need it

Feel free to add further imperatives as you wish.

...as our leader...

Reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from Kill Bill
