  1. Anybody here have any experiences of getting thrown under the bus by managers of the New Jersey group? If so, would love to hear them.

  4. 2:21 PM Yes, this is so true. The CN/HNT are being trampled by AT, SH,PG,JC,JJC....just to start the list!

    Now, when people at our sister papers are thrown to the wolves, we will just have to wait to hear it through the rumor mill.

  6. Being thrown under the bus by manaagement at any Gannett paper let alone the ones in NJ. Are you kidding? This is standard practice and must be a requirement for any "manager" to get hired, promoted or remain at one of these NJ papers. These people do this to protect themselves and cover up for their incompetence. They don't give a crap about any employee just themselves. I've seen this dozens of times at the Courier post and it goes on every day and will contnue to go on.

  9. Thrown under the bus? Certainy! We have tire tracks on our bodies!
    Without being specific about any individual, we have been exposed to:

    1. Sarcasm and cutting remarks.
    2. Lack of appreciation for
    performance which only makes
    the manager(s) look good.
    3. Stealing of our ideas for
    improving things and giving
    us no credit for them.
    4. Sending us snarky emails which
    would only be read after the
    manager left for vacation.
    5. Never apologizing for errors,
    but bringing in pizza or ice
    cream instead.
    6. Disappearing for long periods
    of time but docking staff for
    being ten minutes late because
    of traffic.

    Anyone who guesses the identity of this manager gets a "Hello Kitty" bandage for his/her injuries.

  11. Jim,
    Since you were a reporter, why don't you write a book about your Gannett/Gannett blog experience? Wouldn't that piss corporate off!

    Make a copy of your time sheet, and don't leave the original in your desk drawer. I keep mine with me at all times, till I have to hand it in. And then I make a copy of it before turning it in.
