nope, day-side. i see what goes on
and management does nothing.
hence, lots of useless people
on the day-side.
Please, New Jersey people... write what is going on! You just never know-- any given day may be your last chance to post from the trenches!

get away with it.
3:35's comments are most likely describing what goes on in the retail advert department. As has been reported here many times, this continues to go on as sales, the life blood of any newspaper, continue to slide. There is no accountability and people who don't produce are kept on board for some unknown reason. Maybe because the director of that dpeartment is clueless and has the publisher completely fooled. Or the publisher is a fool. The C-P market is a good one which is mostly affluent but the businesses have only two places to advertise economically: Clipper magazine and the Courier-Post. Clipper publications are as fat as or even fatter then befoe while the C-P is a sad case . Now the C-P daily circulation is down below 58,000 based on ABC's latest numbers and the Sunday is a mere shadow of its former past. The place is a disaster. Changes are needed here dramatically and now!!! A thorough house cleaning of anyone who is not producing should take place and to hell with "relationships" "special deals" and keeping sals people on who don't produce. There are so-called "inside support people" who need to go too. Gannett, are you listening? Well it's time to go home.
ReplyDeleteBuilding news, buttdumplings!
ReplyDeleteOk,I am a nobody at the cp, but Walt seems very nice and so do most of the people that get bad mouthed on this blog. I can only conclude that you just want to stir the pot and get people upset. But I'm not buying, despite everthing, I still like my job and the people that work there. All this complaining on the blog, I hope it's not done on company time!
ReplyDeleteto 6:39 pm, how can you say you are a nobody. If you feel that way then that is evidence of the evil at the CP (to make you feel that way). You are somebody and whatever you do you are important and don't let those buttheads beat you down.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Walt Lafferty, he may seem nice but wait until your ass gets fired for absolutely nothing while he keeps on with a bunch of complete losers. Finally, even if I did write on company time it would be nothing compared to the times wasted by the "select" ones who do nothing to contribute but are kept. So...which empty suit asked you to write this?
where's EJ?
