Gatehouse Media

When you get down to it, that's really pathetic. An editor that puts his bonus over the entire quality of the paper and what four more employees could provide shows what a disgrace the industry has become and the leeches and pariahs it now attracts.

 

Doc's post needs an "agree" button rather than "like" ... unfortunately, it's spot-on.

 

I like your post. Fredrick needs to borrow your words "leeches" and "pariahs" for future posts. As of now I tend to write about the "butt kissing middle managers" or the "clueless 10 a.m. meeting people."

 

I was telling you that the best thing a middle manager can put on a resume is how he/she cut staff and instituted furloughs without somebody throwing a brick through the window. Being able to cut staff, keep frozen positions open is HUGE on a resume.

 

Feel free to use them at your disposal. We're all in this mess together.

The example cited by SF is plain ol' sloppy work (oftentimes a byproduct of being worked into the ground), and that can be done by an overworked desk slave whether they're five feet from you or five time zones away.
