LA Reid and Def Jams Epidemic
In what has probably been one of the toughest / worst weeks for the label this year (has to be, the year is only 3 weeks old) and perhaps recent history, a day after the label had massive layoffs that saw three senior executives leave, the employees who still had jobs to show up to on Friday were asked to go home due to a bed bug scare.
One would assume that the problem was large enough to ask all employees to evacuate the building, or maybe it was a preemptive measure.
Or perhaps this is why layoffs happened on a Thursday and not a Friday, should people just think that everyone was being let go and that Island Def Jam was closing up shop ( a rumor that has been out there since last year).
Either way, this must have been quite the embarrassment for the house that LA destroyed.
Here’s hoping 2010 is better on the back of Bieber.
