Re: Gray: no furloughs planned
Nope, you can’t seem to get your facts straight, Lovin. And I’ll praise anyone, any company at any time I choose. I don’t need advice from the peanut gallery. Beer: all stations have cut staffing levels. It’s already affected the product at 5, 12 and 25-66. Still doesn’t stop companies like Tegna f...

Re: Gray: no furloughs planned
Lovin: Gray says no layoffs or furloughs. No such guarantee yet from Sinclair. If they’re going to ask for loyalty from their employees, I think it’s fair to praise companies that are going to bat for workers who are covering this pandemic. Hence why I’m applauding Gray for its stance. It is possib...

Re: Gray: no furloughs planned
12’s parent company, Gray, says despite the downturn in advertising revenue that it’s not planning on any furloughs.. Tegna says it is requiring most of its workers to take a week off unpaid before June. Let’s see which direction Sinclair (25-66) and Meredith (5) go... Good for Gray to taking a pri...

Re: Sinclair ruining FSD
Can’t get much worse. I’ll take my chances with advocating for changes that focus on improving working conditions and the quality of journalism that raises ratings and in turn revenue for broadcasters. Don’t kid yourself Stink. It can get a lot worse. You want change and you are going to get it. Yo...

Re: Sinclair ruining FSD
So that end apparently justifies the means? Step over the bodies of your employees to make profits. Companies like Sinclair will be able to find warm bodies of unemployed workers when all this is over and pay them even cheaper wages. In your mind, it’s just “business.” Workers are just a number on ...

Re: Sinclair ruining FSD
Beer: that is exactly the problem. You say “ any loyalty to an employer in this day and age is gone”. It’s backwards. The company isn’t loyal to its employees. If companies were to reduce their profits, take the short term hit, they would have an immensely loyal workforce and likely have a bigger r...

Re: Sinclair ruining FSD
R: absolutely. No doubt about it that medical workers on the front lines of battling this pandemic and putting their lives on the line deserve to be treated better. Large corporations and those that run them need to understand this isn’t about profits. They need to help the workers who will help th...

Re: Spirit Week
Lovin: Ask people what they want? Why would the HR Director/Party Planner do that? She’d be outta a job. Better for her to plan an event, have little participation from news because everything is planned for midday when: a) the morning team has gone, b) the dayside team is out working, and c) is all...

Re: Spirit Week
None of the reporters or photographers I’ve worked with (both at 25-66 and our competitors) feel they have been given adequate protection. We’ve been given some cleaning supplies and we’re told to wash our hands. That’s about it. And then we get notes from management about how hard people who were ...

Re: How long until shows are anchored from home?
Why? I question yours all the time... But once again you’re off topic. Care to add anything, Beer, to the conversation about in-home anchoring? Or do you just prefer to kiss Dudley’s profanity laced butt and show your ignorance... Yes I do. Stink, the topics here are in constant flux. So, fuck you.
