Time after time, Sharknado is disappointing me. Maybe it’s just that I have too much faith in these super low budget ‘horror’ films, and maybe it’s just because I want to see which city gets destroyed next, but I really hope that the producing agency, The Asylum, stops being so discourteous to it’s many hardworking employees. In a previous comment, I stated that regardless of basic human decency or professional respect, it would make sense for them to just allow the workers to unionize. They’d stop getting the bad press on their movie, they’d get their movie to the public faster, and they’d be letting the rest of the world rest assured that the sharknado destruction happened in a manor that was fair to workers. Boiled down, I think it’s a management issue. There are people at the top who think that they can get away with flipping off the people who work for them, and that is simply the wrong way to go about motivating your workers.
