Signs, deals, dishes about talent agencies, managers

Note of the editors: Variety has revived his column “TienperTenteries” new life that describes the inner activities and customer signs of Hollywood’s top talent agencies and management companies. TenperTenteries was a staple of Variety From the mid -nineties to the beginning of the years 2010. We are happy to bring it back with an increased focus on deals and dishes with the representation of the top talent of Showbiz companies.

The young (and the fuel -efficient) employees of United Talent Agency were in weapons last week, sources told Tinger Centeries, about news from leadership that the company suspended its free lunch service.

What started as a post-Pandemic advantage to lure staff back to the office was a wonderful and generous way until 2025. Uta served Leora dishes, the restaurant that is in the shadow of the desk in Beverly Hills. A sandwich from Turkey Club will give you $ 15 and a sesamgers salad will put you back $ 22 (very modest prices for Los Angeles, VAT, VAT).

The free Chow was served daily, except on Friday, and took place due to a brutal period of broad cost -saving costs that exist to this day. Free well-groomed lunches were introduced in Hollywood’s office culture by Silicon Valley, where companies such as Facebook would install food courts in shopping centers-style to keep programmers and keep them happy. Netflix still has an impressive menu of the dishes (Hot and Takeaway) at the Sunset Boulevard head office.

If the biggest rivals in Uta – CAA and WME – have ever offered free lunch, certainly not. Sources at Uta said that heads of the office are currently cooking supplements such as coupons to roll out in the coming weeks. Some UTA assistants wondered aloud to their bosses if they were to be compensated for lunch loss, so that the meals would introduce a financial burden that they had not had to wear for years.

We would like to pay for lunch to hear how those conversations go.
