Media company lies...
I joined a new 'new media' company (that was like Nathan Barley meets The Office) doing cool stuff like interactive TV. Was promised the earth over the years by the bosses and few were kept. The one promise that really stuck in my craw was the 5% stake in the company that never materialised.

Upon handing in my notice a week went by before the boss even bothered to talk to me about it. I had never raised my voice to him once in 6 years, but when he cornered me about the why, I told him and he got all defensive and it ended in me shouting at him about all the lies. It didn't make any difference but I felt better.

It was a real shame as we had so many good ideas that were years ahead of their time. We tried to develop an MP3 music service something like a cross between iTunes and Spotify back in 2000, but the record labels wanted thousands for the music rights.

On the plus side a very nice lady joined us around 2002ish and introduced me to b3ta. Thank you PinkNinja and thank you b3ta for being there through all the lies...
