Why I Quit My Dream Newspaper Job After 4 Months

Reads like she had as much interest in her old(er), male, white, stubborn, conservative employees as they did her...... with no apparent newspaper experience I'm not surprised she ran away after 4 months.

 

Try as I might (and the article is so long and ponderous that it takes a whole lot of trying), it's difficult to work up a lot of sympathy for her. Sure, she's now without a full-time job, has credit-card debt, etc. But she also is young, seems reasonably bright despite being on an emotional roller coaster, and should be employable. She's got some margin for error at this stage of her career. Her prospects are certainly better than the 50-to-55-ish copy editor or reporter who's been laid off or soon could be -- someone who can't afford early retirement, has a mortgage to pay and might be trying to put kids through college, dealing with health issues or paying for the care of an elderly parent.

 

The big question: is Sunshine the ultimate male or the ultimate meatball?

 

Whatever happened to "Pop a Xanax and STFU"?

 

Yeah, dog should suck it up and stop whining about being locked in an apartment for 8-12 hours straight.

 

She'll never land a job at Yahoo! now. The company expects you to show up for work these days.

 

Yes. It should. It's a fucking dog.

 

I hope you don't have a dog.

 

Oh, my God, a dog has to be alone for an eight-hour work day, like generations of dogs before it. The humanity!

 

Self-absorbed overlong wankfests are the lifeblood of Gawker's main sites, Jezebel in particular. Even if you were the social justice warriorest of all social justice warriors, I couldn't see how you'd be able to sustain reading most of the navel-gazing state-of-me toilet fires that infest that site and ones like it.
