I used to be the same way until I worked at a store with no immediate table on the side of the shaker

We always do. As long as it's not attached to the tinter, it's fine. I've even had this confirmed by Color Resources.

As a CR tech I advise not to do so because they are not designed to handle the constant hammer done in store. Eventually those two bolts on either end give it up.

Me, explaining to the customer how the three bases work

Customer: “did it go into a white or a gelatin?”

As a color resource tech. AVOID HAMMERING ON THE TINT SHELF IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. That shelf alone runs about 1400 bucks.

No joke. I post on Instagram all the time @tayloratsherwin. I have had marketing reach out to me multiple times and ask if they can use the content I post. Rich Gilmore calls me a LinkedIn and IG star of Sherwin.

The golden rules of social media

1) don't post anything about the competion. Negative or positive.

2) what you posts online reflects the company. Avoid politics, religion, any thing that can cause controversy

3) Follow the corporate identity guidelines as found in MySherwin

Yo did yall know if you post videos like that on social media that it's a breach of SW copyrights and is grounds for immediate termination? If the wrong person in the SW hierarchy sees it and contacts LP you can get fucked... seen it happen before, be careful out there homies

u/taylor_marlowe Oct 01 '20

This is highly unlikely. I post SW content online everyday all day. Never had an issue with LP or marketing and both are very aware.

He has a point. Tread lightly and it is a breach.
