My main task was to hire and manage people for a potential talk show. Other tasks include organizing meetings, booking flights and hotel rooms, and keeping the project on schedule. Due to mismanagement of time and money by the CEO as well as his complete lack of professionalism, the best course of action for me was to leave this position before my reputation is ruined. I do no recommend doing any sort of business with Ruben Skye Productions.
