Doomsday meeting for APP circulation this Thursday!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo what are they going to tell you that we don't already suspect ie. home delivery going to PCF?
ReplyDeleteDo we know more about the building problems yet? Are the hard-hitting reporters back from lunch? They should be blowing the lid off this one any day now.
ReplyDelete"NEW JERSEY ROCKS"
ReplyDeleteBUT THE PAPERS SUCK

courier post slaves.
looks like the scene is improving @ HNT. they are hiring sales people!!!
ReplyDeleteHortense, enlighten us!! Is it impending boom or doom?
ReplyDelete"New JERSEY ROCKS " SAYS, DOOMSDAY DAY IS TRULY AT HAND!
ReplyDeleteMARK YOUR CALENDAR THURSDAY 4/3/09
FOR THE APP CIRCULATION DEPT.THIS WILL BE A VERY SAD DAY IN THE NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION DEPT.AT THE "ASBURY PARK PRESS" JUST SWEPT OUT THE DOOR LIKE A PILE OF TRASH !
The circulation dept. at the APP was always treated like crap. Why would our forced exit be any different?? I wonder how they will screw us on our severance package? You know they will!!!!

ReplyDeleteIf the HNT is hiring salespeople, then when will Gannett get rid of the drones at the Courierpost and hire some real sales people (not all there are bad) to replace the incompetents? Start with the "management" types many of whom are beyond incompetent.

ReplyDeletePlease stop; I've got enough going on already today.
ReplyDeleteHey APP Senior VP of circulation. Are you going to slap the DM's in the face again by saying that "PCF are the professionals," implying that we're not. Even though many DM's have been around much longer than you!!
ReplyDeleteThree hours later, and still no building news.
ReplyDeleteThe hard-hitting reporters must be taking long lunches today.
12 PM and all my other little friends: Prognostication is not one of my talents, even though the word does sound filthy. Rather, I would just say that doom is the inevitable outcome to the horrendous product they are putting on the market. While I do not believe in out and out larceny, I think you would do well to abscound daily with several rolls of tape, some marking pens, perhaps a handful of rubber bands. Perhaps you can fit a tape dispenser in your underpants. In Somerville, the entire situation is putrid. True circulation figures are so low that they cannot be released truthfully.
ReplyDeleteHortense has always tried to maintain a "pip-pip, cheerio" attitude and a positive attitude, but it just isn't possible to live in that dream world any longer.
As I sithere looking at the glum expressions on all of your faces, I just try to remember that there were "good old days" at one time!

ReplyDeleteTake your paycheck and cash it.
ReplyDeletePray it clears. Be grateful you have a job for another week. Go home and kiss your spouse/kids/dog/whoever.
Have a nice day. It's a job.
