“Do Not Wait In Any Hallway To Speak To Me”: Steve Harvey Sends Out Memo To Staff With New Rules

Comedian and television host — and apparently beleaguered — Steve Harvey laid down the law to his talk show’s staff.

The memo Harvey sent out and being presented on Twitter is as follows:

Some on social media lashed out against Harvey.

#SteveHarvey For showing your true self you’ve
Lost another fan,

You are paid a huge amount of money and jobs require you speak with people. Should be ashamed of behavior. Ego out of control. #SteveHarvey

Others saw it for what it was. An effective memo regarding expected behavior in a workplace. It’s diplomatic, polite and firm, yet fair.

I feel like I need to defend #steveharvey. People I feel are taking his memo out of context.

Harvey joined in on a laugh after comedian Chelsea Handler made the list her own.

Dealing with so many people needing a slice of one’s time clearly was making Harvey’s work experience unpleasant.

Harvey defended the memo in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“Look man, I’m in my makeup chair, they walk in the room. I’m having lunch, they walk in, they don’t knock. I’m in the hallway, I’m getting ambushed by people with friends that come to the show and having me sign this and do this. I just said, ‘Wait a minute.’ And in hindsight, I probably should’ve handled it a little bit differently.”

Maybe, but not much.
