These are the same people who think they are doing the company a favor when they deliver a 40 hour week. Sad, very sad. The culture has changed, and not for the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482376402724312298.post-61882619451611371642007-06-25T20:00:00.000-04:002007-06-25T20:00:00.000-04:00I am reminded of what a dear friend said to me upo...I am reminded of what a dear friend said to me upon his departure from radio news after twenty plus years. It's a pretty good quote at that. He said, <B>"I didn't leave the business, the business left me."</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482376402724312298.post-52079775172916462512007-06-25T09:09:00.000-04:002007-06-25T09:09:00.000-04:00Paul,I have a rocking chair for you right here on ...Paul,<BR/>I have a rocking chair for you right here on the front porch of the OLENUZGUY'S HOME. There are a few of us who gather here regularly to lament the fallen state of our former craft. Come join us!<BR/>It's just not like it used to be, by crackee!<BR/>The legendary John Lane summed it up best for my psyche after being unceremoniously shown the door somewhere. He said "It's different. I can't judge that it's better or worse. It's just different."<BR/>I have my own opinion vis-a-vis "better or worse" but one thing is for certain "it is different."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482376402724312298.post-40604381168493620942007-06-21T20:09:00.000-04:002007-06-21T20:09:00.000-04:00From one "Old Fart Emeritus" to another, let me sa...From one "Old Fart Emeritus" to another, let me say I hear you loud, I hear you clear. But if you have a mule, you need a stick, you need a carrot. Mules, you had. I was one among many. But no stick, no carrot, no movement. And none of it was your fault. <BR/><BR/>That miserable outfit we all worked for wouldn't give its employees air. And for that, they paid a price.<BR/><BR/>We're gone, probably not forgotten, but we no longer walk the halls on S. Franklin trying to act like things are at least tolerable. They weren't - they were horrid.<BR/><BR/>Those still there have managed to achieve the unthinkable. The May book was the worst ever. I've lost count of how many "worst ever" books there have been. Amazing they could manage another.<BR/><BR/>It's very hard to believe there were many viewers left to lose. I guess there were. They managed to find some...<BR/><BR/>...and they managed to lose them.<BR/><BR/>They did it without us.<BR/><BR/>And for that, I give thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
