For LoveIsBlind alum Nick Thompson, it seems that being on the Netflix reality dating series has taken a toll on his life that he wasn't expecting.
, it seems that being on the Netflix reality dating series has taken a toll on his life that he wasn't expecting.Love Is BlindThompson was laid off from his job as a VP of marketing back in November,"And since then I’ve been looking for a new role in marketing and tech, and I have been not taken very seriously."
"There were a number of layoffs, but it was a week after my name was not politely mentioned in the media, so I think that might have been a contributing factor when decisions were being made," Thompson said."That's speculation, of course, but after the show came out... I definitely felt like I wasn't taken as seriously anymore... people would treat me a little bit differently and not take my ideas or my work as seriously.
While Thompson continues to look for work, he's also been trying to help others who are in a similar position as himself -- those who feel they've been left stranded in their real lives after their time in the reality TV spotlight., which stands for Unscripted Cast Advocacy Network. According to Thompson, he was paid $10,000 for 10 weeks worth of work, and Netflix made no consideration for residuals when it came to their contract with him or other cast members. He also decried the working conditions.
