Science? Stupidity.

The Science of Selling Images

Perhaps this article should be entitled “The Science of Selling Employees Up The River”. For a company that has just culled more than 300 people from its work force, isn’t expected to meet its reduced revenue targets, and has basically gutted entire companies that it has acquired over the past couple of years — they sure know how to get the media to spin for them. I’m not bitter. Really I’m not. I just know from experience how Getty Images operates. This article paints a pretty picture (no pun intended), but in reality they haven’t a clue which direction they’re going. If they did have a clue, they wouldn’t have told these folks that they’ll be looking for a new job before the end of the year.
