Dear Hollywood: It’s Time For An Intervention About The Hours We Work [Change.org Petition Inside]

<h2>» <a href= "https://optimizeyourself.me/dear-hollywood-its-time-for-an-intervention-about-hours-we-work/"> Read & Share the full article HERE</a></h2> <p>When I published my article <strong><a href= "https://optimizeyourself.me/dear-hollywood-normal-wasnt-working/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dear Hollywood: We Don’t Want to ‘Go Back to Normal.’ Normal Wasn’t Working</a></strong> I was absolutely floored by the response as I watched it spread like wildfire across social media in all sectors of the entertainment industry. I honestly never thought this message would ever reach beyond my tiny little (windowless) corner of the post-production world.</p> <p>From 2nd assistant directors in Mexico City to makeup artists in North Carolina to corporate video editors in Germany to accountants in Japan, not to mention countless directors, producers, and even actors (<a href= "https://twitter.com/CharlesEbaker/status/1277284474317713408" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Skinny Pete, yo!</a>), I’ve heard from people on all six continents. From marketing to features to advertising to television to documentary, above-the-line and below-the-line, union and non-union alike - the idea of nobody wanting to go back to ’Normal’ clearly struck a nerve.</p> <p>Once again, Hollywood...sorry not sorry.</p> <p>As I said in <strong><a href= "https://optimizeyourself.me/covid-waivers-kit-rental-fees-working-humane-hours-cathy-repola/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">my interview with Cathy Repola, National Executive Director of the Motion Picture Editors Guild (Local #700)</a></strong>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This is not just a union issue. This is a human issue.</p> </blockquote> <p>We all seem to be in universal agreement the way we did things pre-pandemic in the entertainment industry wasn’t working. Since sharing my own list of what I believed wasn’t working, I’ve received hundreds of messages and included many of your personal stories about what hasn’t been working in your lives. (<strong><a h
