When?
When have I seen similar things happen… frequently. Someone takes a job and says they are going to do it the way you want them to and then they get into the job and start doing their own thing and ignoring what you want. Co-workers have done around me on many occasions. It has happened in Hollywood a few times as well. People get fired for that sort of behavior all the time. It just isn’t something you do. When your boss says to do it my way or take a hike, you do it their way whether you are a movie director, a grip, or working at McDonald’s.
