Relationships matter

- [Instructor] A really easy thing that we should all know…is be nice to people, and you'd be surprised, you know,…when you meet people who are professionally unpleasant…and I want to tell you the story of the chap on the right,…on the left, rather, who's based on a real person…who spent the bulk of his career during the '80s and '90s…being really, really, abusive, emotionally abusive…to all the people who were beneath him…in the production hierarchy, and then something happened.…The 2D animation industry basically collapsed…and was replaced by CGI, and he was a traditional animator…and he wasn't able to make the transition…because he was too inflexible, whatever.…

So the amount of jobs that were still available,…it wasn't zero, but it was beginning to shrink.…All of the people that were formerly his little underlings…here in blue, they got promoted and their careers went up,…and now he can't get work,…and it's like one of these morality tales…that you would almost think is made up…but he literally cannot get work…
