Banning Non-Competes
Re: Banning Non-Competes
Mike Woolfolk and Frank Turner are both underutilized. Both can be franchise players. The 25-66 In Over Her Head News Director won’t promote him. 5’s new News Director Jayne Hodak needs to put Turner on the big shows and knock Custer down a peg or two.
Re: Banning Non-Competes
You work for a non-profit state government that exists to serve the people of the State of Michigan, and Sinklair works for a publicly-traded, for-profit corporate media outlet that exists to maximize shareholder value. Your directors are political appointees that serve at the pleasure of the Governor that appointed them. Your complaints seem to be about genuinely wanting to make things better. Sinklair just seems completely miserable, hence the reason I suggested self-reflection.Constant Listener wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 9:08 pmC’mon Matt. I’ve been working for the State for nearly 25 years and have had ONE decent director of my office in that time period. The current director at my office is what I call an over educated idiot, as he lacks common sense but has a Masters Degree. The rah rah positive attitude that he demands in the office just ignores a multitude of issues there. I point them out and am deemed negative. No, I’m not negative but I just don’t walk around with those colored glasses on.
And this is EXACTLY what Sinklair does with pointing out the issues at 25/66. My God, they pull Mike Redfield off weekday evening broadcasts to do weekends because of the trickle down effect of firing Rachelle Spence? That’s just completely ignorant management
What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Actually I’m talking about local office directors.

Re: Banning Non-Competes
Do the local directors report directly to Lansing? Also, is there a Lansing management infrastructure that generally stays in place regardless of who is the politically appointed head?

Re: Banning Non-Competes
1 - No. we have essentially zone directors that they report to.
2 - Yes and no. The appointed State director can bring in immediate subordinates underneath them, but there are some people who have worked themselves up internally to a top position that they seem to stay in.

Re: Banning Non-Competes
Back about 2000, in the DC area, news anchor Maureen Bunion jumped from TV9 to TV7. One Friday she was on 9, and the next Monday she was on 7. Gordon Peterson did this also a little while later, also from 9 to 7. WUSA lost several people to WJLA this way. No year's break; just the weekend. Either no non-compete clause, or it wasn't enforced.
Re: Banning Non-Competes
DC bans non competes, Michigan does not (at least at this time)
