The Hollywood Reporter&amp;nbsp;newsroom. My supervisor\u2019s leaving. I turned her job down. Twice. Boss asks my salary and the first two numbers lower than my age. He looks astounded. \u201cYour boss needs you both. If you leave, he\u2019s f*cked.\u201d Raises submitted for January 2003. $13.50 an hour. Sales up 23%. It\u2019s the 1-year 9\/11 anniversary. Moment of silence in the office park. THR\u2019s issue: no exploitative pictures. Stone\u2019s IT department confiscates his World Trade Center photos for their commemoration. \u201cWhy do you need these?\u201d Emmy meeting. \u201cNo way in hell I want a temp on that night.\u201d 3pm-1am overtime. Red carpet. Bomb sweep. Stone: \u201cThink positive!\u201d Me: \u201cIt\u2019s about thinking realistically.\u201d I was 32. Leaving it all on the $50M floor. Because that\u2019s how you stay A-list on any rung of the totem pole. From the newsroom floor to 30 countries. Season 2 continues. Pressing play is enough. If you can donate, link in notes. No ads. No brand notes. Just truth, Stone, and receipts.  \ud83d\udc96 Let's Keep Talking About Hollywood!  \ud83d\udc96 This podcast is a labor of love, funded entirely by incredible listeners across the globe.
