  1. 2:14, that's not necessarily true. I work at the CP and got into a vigorous argument with my boss to the point where HR was needed. I was not fired, but talked to. I now have more respect for my boss and I believe they have more respect for me. Not because of "drinking the koolaid" but because things were explained, discussed and a solution was met. Don't scare the folks on this blog thinking they'll get fired for speaking their mind, it doesn't always happen. The thing they should remember, however, is there is a time and place for it.

  8. Don't know about other Gannett properties, but as a 10+ employee I can say for certain that the morons in management at the Courier-Post don't want to hear anything from employees down the chain. If you do speak your mind, behind doors or in the open, you are black listed and doomed as a "troublemaker." This is especially true in the advertising department where the director there is a nasty and self serving jerk. She "worked" her way up to this job and the present publisher is stuck with her but no one can figure out why...unless. This "nasty culture" is expected to be the practice of everyone reporting to this incompetent out of touch director who keeps people around who yes her to death and don't dare use their brains. Bad place to work? YOu bet!!! Unless you're an asskisser you're out

  9. So much for the "consolidation" plan to move all page production to the APP. The DR is definitely getting Harris terminals installed in the new building -- after half the staff gets let go on June 1.

  11. My question is:
    Where the heck is RK?

    ReplyDelete
  12. 1:23 - I don't work in advertising so can't speak to your frustration, but not like that in the department where I work.

  13. Who is RK-- from what paper?

  14. another 10+ employee checking in.
    its true, if you stand up for
    your self at the CP your labeled
    a "trouble maker"
    even if the issue wasn't your fault.

    the courier post.

  16. It is true! There is no respect for employees at the cp. People are treated with contempt by the snakes that run the place. There is no one in the management at that property that understands or cares about respecting employees. They enjoy keeping people down and denigrading people whenever they can. If an employee is deemed as someone rfespected by other employees the scumbags in managment will begin a campaign to discredit that person. They don't want anyone (below management) to appear smarter than them. The morale here is horrendous and most people I know are just waiting things out to get the hell out of this crappy place. and to 9:14 PM, your experience is unusual if not impossibnle. YOu msut have something on your boss or your boss needs to use you some more before you are screwed.

  17. Well 1:23 if you ever had anything positive to say maybe someone would listen to you. But like your many negative buddies you sit on your ass all day and rip people on this blog. Yeah, I want to hear what you have to say, NOTTTTTTTTTTTT.

    I am on furlough this week and I still can't stand the thought of working next to a someone like you.

  18. What are the "rules of a crappy column"? All this explaining of how a newspaper works is getting boorrriiing....writing about printing errors, in a column that has a proof reading error, hilarious!! This is what I call dumbing down of the readers. & it ain't working. Honestly, who reads this shit, excepting me for obvious reasons...lol.

  21. 1:59 PM: Are you referring to Roscoe Kolabobkowski who worked at the HNT? If so, he is a managing editor at the NY Times.

  22. If 3:59 is on furlough then why are you on this blog when you aren't supposed to be doing any work duirng the furlough??? It's apparent you are one of the koolaid drinkers who has probably been asked to post on this blog.

    Hmmm... I believe this blog is not runned by GCI, but by Jim Hopkins of San Fran, CA. This is not work related. Actually referring to this blog at work can get you out of work, (out the door) ;) Would'nt you think? Remember you can do what you want on furlough, that's not work related & this is not related to or paid by GCI.

    The fact that you think reading this blog is "work" and should not be done during furlough is hilarious. It's apparent you are... clueless. And paranoid to boot if you think 3:59 is a koolaid drinker who has been asked by corporate to post on this blog. Ha-ha-ha. Made me laugh.
