Decent work is an issue imposed on the public agenda in 2023 by millennials and generation Z, and Eugenio Derbez has been a key character in the public debate. A few months ago, the actor was criticized for questioning that young people do not want to work for him for free, and now, an incendiary thread on X puts him back in the discussion.

This is the user of X, formerly Twitter, behind the account called “Dyslexican”, who told some anecdotes that he lived with other writers and Gus Rodríguez, publicist, actor, host, screenwriter and creative director of the actor’s team.

The controversy began with the viralization of a fragment of an interview done by Adela Micha with Eugenio Derbez in 2018, where the actor questions the attitude of the new generations, prioritizing money over the experience and recognition that comes from working for a celebrity of his size.

Derbez recalled the time when he was looking for a community manager to manage his social networks, but when he contacted candidates the first question they asked him was “how much are you going to pay me?”, something that not only did he not understand, but it bothered him. .

The tweeter, as users of gaming in Mexico.

“Eugenio Derbez’s offices were on Camino al Desierto de los Leones, in front of the police academy, twenty minutes from Televisa San Ángel. Every day we arrived, had a creative meeting, wrote, went down to eat and came back to write all afternoon.

They gave us an hour to eat, that meant that we lost 40 minutes in transportation and we ate in 20 minutes, that’s when I started eating disorderly and with large bites, you had two options, you got off in the first bus, you ate in a hurry and you returned to the races or You went down with the second bus, hungrier, but you ate calmly. Nobody wanted to go down with the second van.”

In a third and fourth publication, the Internet user says that, despite the unfavorable conditions, Gus Rodríguez promoted a healthy and creative environment, and took care of the image of Eugenio Derbez, whom he defined as the stingiest person he has ever met. :

“Gus took great care of Eugenio’s image, and tried to hide his main defect: Eugenio is the stingiest person I have ever met in my fifty years on Earth. He had a little old lady’s purse and it never came out of his bag, he preferred to give her a joke when he came next than a coin.

The Internet user measures the actor’s stinginess, remembering the occasion when he asked him to buy him a soft drink at the cinema and he only cooperated: “We used to go to the cinema for the last Monday show so that no one would bother Eugenio and we would pretend that he was a person.” normal. One time it occurred to me to ask him to buy me a soda and he took out his little purse and gave me 5 pesos, which was the cost of a canned coke.”

At the end of the thread that leaves Derbez in a bad light and describes Gus Rodríguez as an excellent boss, the Internet user highlights that the actor was not in charge of paying his writers: “I’m going to have to clarify that Eugenio was not in charge of paying us , if I (and the other 3 writers) had three months without getting paid it was because the process to get a deposit was very slow. But it was an administrative problem for the company.”

Despite his clarification, his publication went viral and generated all kinds of reactions, including new accusations against the actor and his family, because according to other users, his extreme care of money is an inherited defect.
