    Looks like DiRienzo is into hiring clones of himself: New sports editor Aaron Bracy has been on the job for 2 weeks, yet already informed beleagured staff that they have to "step it up." Tough to kick it up a notch when you're handed raises that amount to pennies in your paycheck, and have to handle upwards of 6 pages a night.
     
  2. Sounds as if he won't last long, either, but at least he always has coaching golf to fall back on.

    You know what I love about this thread? These cockroaches are being exposed nationally. They know it, and there's not a damn thing they can do to stop it. Keep up the good work.

    I don't give a shit; I was careful to negotiate a brand new super-sweetheart golden parachute termination deal last year, so even if the company goes down in a ball of flames like the Hindenburg, I'll land gently on my feet on a cushion of money, just like I did when I helped steer Ingersoll straight into a bomb crater 15 years ago.

    Not to mention, of course, my eight-figure salary for much of the 1990s and early 2000s. That kind of green buys a lot of high-quality horsemeat.

    Here, if you've got a few spare hours to kill, enjoy. Here's what happens to truly valuable employees when they leave a company: ;)

    As far as the hundreds of newspaper employees I've run off into the streets, they get bupkus. Dime a dozen. Tough luck Jack, I hear Wal-Marts is hiring. :D ;D :D

    sad thing is, this would be really funny if bob and the boys weren't such real-life cocksuckers who fucked up average workin' folks' lives.

    If this paper is such a hell hole, like many of you say it is, why do we waste so much time talking about it???

    To warn people to not take jobs there, Bob.

    Sadly, there always will be an idealistic 22-year-old kid out there who wants to change the world and will take a job at a place such as The Trentonian or The New Britain Herald just because. And they'll leave the business four months later totally disillusioned.

    I am sure there are bosses in JRC who are good to work for and deflect some of the corporate bullshit. I'd say those are few and far between, though.

    Actually, I think in that regard it's a good testing ground for 22-year-olds. If you can survive a year at the Trentonian you can probably make it anywhere.

    This thread should live so long it makes cockroaches jealous.

    BTW, I'd like to know who some of the JRC bosses are who deflect the corporate bullshit are.
