Fate of Rocky Mountain News to be announced

Actually I am hoping it does go through my bank. The bank that refused the check was the bank that the check was written on. I tried to go through Scripps' bank, thinking that it should cash. I was then told if I depsoit it in my account it will go through. I'm waiting anxiously to see if that is true.
This, I should add, is no reflection on any of the RMN execs. They have been victims themselves. The problems are in Cincinnati, not in Denver. The higher ups at the Rocky handled everything, at least in my case, with utmost class.

 

Not surprised. Rich Boehne, his porn 'stache, Ken Lowe, and all the Scripps corporates are douchebags.

 

Tracy,
Enjoy Vegas. Here's to hoping the Pokes can put together a full game, unlike the past two where they died in the second half.

 

You send someone on the road to cover something, you better pay for them to get home.

PERIOD.

 

Fortunately for him, he was staying at his dad's house and was scheduled to come home the next morning. I know Rick Sadowski, the Avs writer, was trapped in the DIA parking lot after flying home.
I might add what was a part of my frustration was that Scripps was informed that I couldn't get home immediately because of my situation and was specifically asked by HR department to not close my account until notified. So it wasn't like it was something that nobody knew about.

 

Gotcha. I misunderstood after reading the initial post. I hope it clears the bank.

 

Tracy:
Coming from a former D/FW cohort from a few years ago----you are a terrific reporter and writer, the epitome of a baseball fanatic who parlays his love and passion for the game into incredible reporting, and it has spilled over into other things you have done over the years. Even though I hadn't seen you in about 10 years, you graciously consented to an interview for a biography I was writing and you were selfless with your input and generous with your time.

I'm believing you have plenty more good things coming your way that will trump what those scuzzballs in Cincy did to you.

 

i just can't believe that it's come to this

you fucking work your ass off for years and years, wait hour after hour how many times to get that one extra quote that turns a good story into a better story, give your fucking life to the paper just because it's the right thing to do, sacrifice family time, take that early flight home so you can get your off-day story in a little earlier, try not to work more than 18 hours on your day off, bleed for the company

then you can't get out of the fucking parking lot

 

Not trying to be a wise guy here, but why was Sadowski stuck at the airport? Did the higher-ups confiscate his car as well?

 

He tried to use his corporate credit card to pay for parking and well. ...

 

Un-fucking-believable.

Andy beat me in here and said it best. Every time you think the bar has been lowered to ant-limbo status, some douchenozzle in a corner office manages to drop it lower.

Journalism has become "Office Space" writ in 21st century living color. The wreckage being inflicted on people's lives is getting perilously close to Gilded Age status.
