Oklahoman shakeup

At what I would presume to be a significantly lower salary, given The Gannett Way. Lower, but at least with relative stability.

 

It's a shame when a battered spouse thinks they have to give their abusive partner a second chance.

 

Weird post and potentially simply misinformed. She left The Oklahoman of her own volition for the startup, and is now going back to The Oklahoman.

 

She can both be doing the right thing for her and her family and also be returning to a place likely to treat her no better than it did when she decided to leave it for a pie-in-the-sky golden ticket opportunity.

 

And we don't know if her leaving was because of them treating her badly, or because it was a (seemingly) golden ticket opportunity that came calling.

I know if I was a single parent doing Substack with no benefits and no guarantees, there's a lot I could overlook to get in a more secure situation.

 

I think Jenni left the Oklahoman for an opportunity that seemed too good to be true that pretty quickly was proven to be too good to be true. It’s a fairly good recovery after being slapped up the side of her head with somebody else’s pipe dream.

 

My comment was perhaps crass or crude, but my point is she likely wouldn’t have left in the first place and the opportunity wouldn’t look so fantastic if the Oklahoman was a stellar employer. This line of work is extremely bad about shivving its vulnerable employees, who wax poetic about this being a “calling,” at their most vulnerable. It’s the definition of an abusive relationship.

 

I'm just glad that after all that went down with Sellout Crowd, Jenni and Berry Tramel were able to land somewhere. Personally, I enjoy reading them both.

 

Another autopsy of Sellout Crowd.

That was great but infuriating. Mike Koehler is uniquely shitty even for this industry.

 

Damn, just finished reading that. Part of me is still amazed that Koehler hasn't been shot in the head and dumped in a hole somewhere in rural Oklahoma. Fucker deserves it.
