Re: Leslie LoBue Toldo exits
Nope, try again. You like to call people out but don’t like it so much when your actions and knowledge are questioned. Keep on trollin’ Stink, it's not that you're always wrong, it's that what you post is always negative. Well 99% negative anyway. And we've heard it all before. it's getting ooooooo...

Re: Leslie LoBue Toldo exits
BTS: Sinclair’s liquidated damages is a complicated percentage of your contract divided by the amount of time you have left under the contract. One person wanting to leave went to the HR Director 4 times and got 4 different amounts for the buyout. The contract system simply doesn’t work. They will ...

Re: Ron Hilliard exits Pierson Rd
Soundchaser: the 2 decent meteorologists you mention… Colton Cichoracki and Brad Sugden both left for WILX and WSYM in LANSING. A smaller market that ponied up more money than Flint. Your argument is illogical at best. 12, 25-66, and 5 all can and should do better when it comes to paying its people...

Re: Ron Hilliard exits Pierson Rd
Soundchaser: nice try. You “conveniently” ignored that much smaller markets like Lansing and Traverse City have much less turnover than 25-66. Here’s that information since you have a hard time staying on topic… “Smaller markets like Lansing and Traverse City have veteran metrologists who have been...

Re: Leslie LoBue Toldo exits
Not a big fan of contacts for work but it is the law of the land. Hard to work in the news end of broadcasting without one.
In the end, you agreed to the terms and signed it. Get on with your life.
LT's exit letter was very nice.

Re: Ron Hilliard exits Pierson Rd
It’s about station managers being so cheap that they are losing meteorologists faster than they can replace them. And don’t continue to tell me that this is normal staff movement to bigger markets. That’s a BS answer. Smaller markets like Lansing and Traverse City have veteran metrologies who have ...

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
That last post tells me that Sinclare has his head up his ASS cause 25 has been a starter station for over30+ years! I was there where were you still hanging on a tit? There’s a difference between being a starter market and hiring sub-par talent. 🤷🏻♀️ Everybody's got to start somewhere, might as w...

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
Flint hasn’t been a starter market… up until recently when GMs and News Directors found they could save a few pennies by not paying as well. People like Jim Kiertzner, Jay Brandow, Randy Conat, and Brian Wood are all great examples of respected, experienced journalists who made noteworthy careers h...

Re: Fan Boy Custer
So Herm you think it’s OK to constantly attack my positions and not have anyone question yours? Yeah, OK… If you don’t want to be brought into conversations you jumped in to, feel free to keep opinions to yourself. Or don’t. Your choice. Disagreeing with you is not attacking your positions, it’s ju...

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
"I was criticized when I was working at 25-66 for “undermining morale” and told I should be quiet and just do my job. That if I hated working there I should look for a new job." As well you should be. There isn't a work place on earth that will put up with that kind of shit from an employee. You do...

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
Not everyone is wrong… just you, Soundchaser. It’s a hard concept for you to understand. But you sound like a management troll. Journalists who work just as hard as journalists in other markets should make a comparable wage. Not a tough concept. If someone has 20+ years in the business, why should ...

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
Soundchaser: once again, you’re wrong. Why do you think anyone should have to leave to get a decent wage? That’s an idiotic statement as much as it’s an idiotic business model. I’m sure you believe that Flint and Saginaw viewers deserve a lower quality standard of journalism than bigger markets, bu...

Re: Being cheap at Christmas
Soundchaser: keep your comments to what you know… The fact is I didn’t go to 25-66 to build character or whatever BS you’re peddling. I went to work at 25-66 to do a job. A job I expected to be fairly compensated for. It became clear very quickly the the former GM/egomaniac was not interested in pa...
