Anybody know anything about this job? I like cheesesteaks.

 

It's Philadelphia's New York Sun-like little boutique, very thin, and you wonder how it stays in business. Oh! That's how! Sometimes the paychecks are really, really late!

Former columnist John Leonard told us on Friday that in his 10 months at the paper he was paid on time three times.

I was thinking of applying before I clicked that link...unreal.

 

Mother of god. And I thought it was bad when overtime claims were "adjusted" where I'm at.

Nevertheless, does anyone know of anyone doing well with this job and catching on somewhere bigger and better, such as the Daily News or Inquirer -- before they fired everybody?

Yeah, nevermind. Just read the linked article above. Been there, done that. I don't give a rats ass what the market is, I'm never dealing with that bullshit again.
