Comments on: MRC Poaches Tory Metzger From CAA http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/mrc-poaches-tory-metger-from-caa/ Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:43:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Charlotte A.

This is a big loss for CAA...she's was the classiest agent in the building...was at the top of her game and got there without the same sort of sordid stories that are attached to others at her level. Very hard, aggressive, and up front...but never a sleaze. I won't call her "honest", because agents never are...but she's a straight shooter and that's worth a lot. I worked for her for a while and while she isn't the most sympathetic person you'll meet she's super on the ball; very, very shrewd; and has spectacular taste in material and talent. What mailman said is true...she was smart enough to jump without Richard et. al. guessing she was leaving. Good for her for moving on. Good for Tory for moving on up.

I think her departure says more about CAA than it does about her, MRC did well. Tory is smart, has an opinion and in my estimation is one who has succeeded based on merit.

One of the most senior agents at CAA leaves. And she did it without giving her bosses a heads up. They were as shocked as everyone else. I just wonder how come this doesnt get more coverage in your column as well as in the trades. Its big news. CAA is on the verge of losing a lot of agents. Come this October when the agents get their bonuses, the floodgates are going to open. Their employees are all going to get underpaid as a result of their terrible running of the business. Paying too much for agents to get clients, the massive office building, the sports business, and the 5 guys taking out 15 million each is going to come back to haunt them. Maybe then we will see a shift in the agency business Nikki-Seems to me like this is pretty big news. One of the most senior agents at CAA leaves. And she did it without giving her bosses a heads up.
