[Ipg-smz] annoyingly pushy PR people

[Esther Shein]

Just a rant...I can't stand it when I interview someone and at the end of the call I ask for their email address in case I have to do any follow-up...and the PR person jumps in and tells me to go through them.  Sometimes I'm successful when I say "well, I would still like to have it as a backup" or something to that effect, but some of them are so damn aggressive and then the source is ultimately torn over what to do.

And then they "circle back" with me. They all use that term...is there some sort of requisite PR-speak course they all take? Grrrrrrrrr.
