Beware, Trentonian offering jobs that don't exist

Between Bob Jelloneck, Lee, son of Bob, and former JRC inmates, these threads are the highest of high comedy. And why anyone would continue to apply for these jobs, with all of the horror stories out there about his hellhole, vexes me.

 

My sincerest wish is that this thread could help prevent someone from becoming employed by JRC - and thus losing all hope and human dignity in their cold, uncaring hands. Just ask the poor schleps that are still working at the Trentonian - many of them received raises that were less than 15 cents an hour just as their healthcare benefits were slashed. And several of them waited YEARS for that pittance of an increase.

 

I'm not going to say anything about how the Trentonian treats its employees - because I don't. I just know that they put out a quality sports section that focuses on their bread-and-butter -- high school sports. On any given day close to 1/2 the pages in the paper are sports.

 

well shit, sign me up.

even hitler was proficient wasn't he?

 

It is a credit to the guys who have fought the good fight over the years and are still plugging away, horrific conditions and all.

Still, one wonders if their circulation might not have dropped 50 percent in the past 12 years if the ratio of high school sports to local news wasn't 4-1.

 

no it isn't. it's more of a testament to stupidity.

 

People have to live Ellis. Something is better than nothing.

 

Oooops ... small typo there. I meant to say because I don't know.
I've heard rumors about the little shit people get suspended for, but haven't heard anything else about the working conditions there.

Just guessing here that Tom Petty doesn't have a family to support.

 

I understand the point, boots, but at some point you become part of the problem if you are an employee. People have to live, but it seems like living wages aren't being paid. How does anybody benefit from experience in a place like this?

It's like the person who complains about how degrading his job is sweeping up manure from the various animals in the circus. A listener asks why doesn't he look for another job, and the sweeper says, "What, and leave show business?"

Anybody taking a job at a JRC place is under similar delusions.

 

Tom Petty,

My lovely Daddy says your bonus check is in the mail. Also, he asked if when you come over tonight if you could please wear those old Jordache jeans that you had on last time you came over for dinner and "dessert." I have to get up early tomorrow so is there any chance you two could be a little quieter this time?

Thanks for supporting my special daddy.

 

They dipped from a bit more than 70K to 60K in the mid-90s after raising cover price from 25 cents to 35 cents while the Newhouse-owned competition remained at 25 cents.

They've since fallen from 60K to 41.7K, but in the same period the competition has shrunk from 86K to 62.5K -- a similar rate of shrinkage.

Ad revenue is a different matter; the Times has always dominated not only volume but the quality of the advertisers. And the tabloid has always been weak on Sundays -- sort of a Boston Herald situation in which the daily sells more than the Sunday.
