Harry Gets Hired With No Experience
The Sussex PR team promote Harry on the anniversary of the UK lockdown
Is there anything more despicable than arrogant, and insenstive PR? On the day of the anniversary of the first national lockdown in the UK, Harry’s team are keen to tell the world that Harry has a job helping people with mental health issues. Yes, I can hear the sighs, and eyeballs are no doubt rolling in unison across the globe at the ironic nature of the whole sorry story.
However, we doubt he applied for the job, and know that the role was probably created for him, and of course there has been much mocking of his title – Chief Impact Officer at BetterUp! Yes, it’s hard to say it with a straight face, but what exactly will he do? He says he will be developing content and programs, but what qualifications does he have? How can a man who didn’t know how to help his wife (who allegedly had mental health issues, she has some issues no doubt) help and lead others? He will be rolled out to the fundraisers, and basically be the company mascot that talks every now and then when prodded. Isn’t he simply expensive PR, and a bit of arm candy for the CEO to brag about at parties?

As more staff (Catherine St-Laurent) seem to flee the sinking ship, more recruits are added, but how long will they last? Actually, no one cares because the ‘death toll’ is so high, that they can’t have escaped the fact that there isn’t something quite right. It’s like walking into a haunted house when you know others before you didn’t leave – why do something that you know may turn out to be a disaster?
Let them be ‘harkled’, but what is a concern, is that BetterUp considered Harry a suitable employee, with no actual training, or experience. Surely this can cause more harm…
Not content with one job, MM has had Harry sending his CV everywhere, and he joins a think tank (Aspen Institute) commission on information disorder (disinformation). At this point you wonder if you are in the Twilight Zone, where a man with no experience gets a job in mental health, and then gets a role to discuss how to tackle disinformation after participating in an interview that was packed with disinformation. Has the world gone crazy (or maybe just the USA)?
Meanwhile, the Letter case continues as ANL seeks permission to appeal…

The comment that Dimwit would have to keep up with his clever wife regarding his 2 new jobs....is clearly straight out of the witches mouth. Must be in a temper with him....
News came out earlier this month that David Brooks, a famous columnist for the New York Times, had to resign his paid position at the Aspen Institute and serve only on a voluntary basis, and he is henceforth required to disclose his connection with the Institute and its donors in any column or public communication touching on the Institute or its donors. The NYT has edited his past columns to add this disclosure. An NYT spokesperson said its Opinion editors had concluded his holding a paid position at the Institute represented a "conflict of interest".
In addition to columns written for the NYT, he blogged for Facebook, recommended Nextdoor while appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, and has appeared in corporate videos for donors (Facebook and Nextdoor are among the donors).
According to one media outlet: "Brooks's behavior raises thorny ethical issues for the Times. By appearing in videos for Weave funders, he's lending the paper's credence to entities in which he has a stake. The revelations of these entanglements have angered the Times’ newsroom.."
The college newspaper of Brooks' alma mater (where he is now a Trustee), also reported transparency issues at Aspen regarding Facebook donations.
If HMTQ does not remove the titles or at least insist they not be used in connection with PH's new "jobs", it will look like the NYT takes its reputation more seriously than the RF. Do they want to be seen as lending royal credence to BU and the Aspen project and its donors?
