  2. The windows need washing and the door to the men's room sticks. It makes a huge noise when it opens. It seems as if the leak in the roof is finally fixed, but the temperature in the newsroom is 10 degrees higher than advertising. That's about all from the building.

    broken people that work here.

  7. Hey NJ rocks. What's going on in your neck of the woods???

  8. Not all of the people at the courier post are "broken" as 1:25 PM today said. There are still and were many really good dedicated people who worked at this newspaper. What is so sad is what remains are people who are so down and sick of the environment. The "management" of this paper is so terrible. Especially the AD, the numerous incompetent "managers" who report to this major loser, the clueless Tommy H. whose best attribute is kissing the publishers butt and trimming the bushes on the property. Then there's the EE...not much to say because he's truly not much. A reject from several ofther Gannett papers. Why is it that in the past when revenue falls they (Gannett) get rid of the AD and sales manager(s) but here they keep the same losers around. The place is a vast wasteland of ignorant people. Still lots of speculating about the Philly Inquirer taking over printing and delivery to futher cut costs. Will be interesting.

  9. 'The place is a vast wasteland of ignorant people.'

    That would be you 5:27... In case you can't read or don't follow the news, newspaper revenues are down all over. We know who you are and wish you would leave. The rest of us at the CP would be better off...

  10. ^true^
    id say 10% of the people left
    at the courier post are good,
    hard working people.
    the rest are worthless and "broken".
    hopefully in the next round
    of layoffs management will fire based
    on job performance and not personal
    opinions they may have for the
    worker. they fired
    alot of good people in december
    and kept some real stinkers!

    you have some brown stuff
    on your nose.

  12. Why is it that almost everything employees write about the Couier Post could be written about the Courier News, like almost word for word?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'd say more than 10% are good hard working people who care (excluding 5:27 and 6:14) and just want to do a good job. I am just so tired of all the whiners. If you don't like it leave, but you won't cause it doesn't matter where you work you are just whiners....

    ReplyDelete
  14. I agree with 6:19....

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh, 6:19 PM.... Your brainwashing has been a very sad result of your work at Gannett. Poor thing!

    ReplyDelete
  16. ^id say^
    they are some legitimate complaints.
    by calling someone a "whiner" your
    just illustrating your ignorance
    and being condescending toward the
    opinions of others.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hey 6:25, you missed the point. Gannett is what it is and I would by no means defend....
    I am talking about the people I work with every day. You can honestly say only 10% of the people who work at any paper are good people whether CP or anywhere else? A bit idiotic don't ya think?

  18. "Oh, 6:19 PM.... Your brainwashing has been a very sad result of your work at Gannett. Poor thing"!

    for sure.

    is very true about the courier post.

  22. "6:35 - does that include your
    own department"?

    oooooh yeah, there are only 3 or
    4 hard working people in
    CP art department. the manager
    is worthless as well.

    the rest are to busy on the
    cell phone planning their weekend
    or bragging about their kids.

  23. I thought the art department manager got the axe?

  27. Dearest Cherry Hill Courier Post
    Trash:

    The rest of NJ is getting tired of reading your constant childishness. Would a few of you, once again, poop on the floor so we have more interesting news from y'all!

  28. Just about every newspaper's front page today had the rescue of the captainb from Somali pirates.

    The APP had a huge picture from the boardwalk promenade. With a tease to the pirate story.

    Couldn't they at least have started the international story that will have international implications on the front page, Townes?

    Local news is important, but that kind of front-page decision is best for a weekly.

  29. the editorial dept at the CP
    pooped on the bathroom floor when they were not getting paid
    for overtime.

    and the art department at the CP
    pooped on the bathroom floor the
    day after they announced
    outsourcing to india.

    jouvinile best describes the
    courier post for sure.

  30. Dear 6:04, there are quite a few of us who feel the same way about the jerks in our paper but everyone is busy kissing asses to keep their jobs and showing phoney enthusiasm for the dickheads running the place. Get real...everyone knows about the slowdown in the media business but there are things that go on and don't go on in Cherry Hill that continue to go on from wayyyyyyyyy back.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Shit for everyone in NJ

    ReplyDelete
  32. D.ear 6:04, or Melissa, thanks for the recognition

    ReplyDelete
  33. lol you people are too funny.

    You all bitch about your job, yet instead of job searching you're busy complaining about your co-workers and managers? Get real man.

    If you have such a big problem with your job shouldn't you search for a new one in order to be happy?

    I'm happy at my job, I love the team I work with. Sure my boss can be a pain in the ass some times, but I don't let it bother me for more than 20 minutes because it's pointless.

    Do yourselves a favor, work smarter not harder. And if you're still unhappy about your job then leave. It's the best thing for you.

    And no, I don't kiss ass. And no I don't drink the kool-aid. I'm just a guy who likes his company and friends.

  34. 9:58 PM--- WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD ARE YOU DRINKING, SNORTING OR PUFFING?????????????????

  35. 10:19, you must be a middle-aged journalist.

    Enough said.

    Haha - loser.
