Ahmad is a talented meteorologist and broadcaster. He deserves this and he will do well in this position. Plus, he’s a really good guy who works hard and this is really cool for him and his family.

Congrats to Ahmad. It’s a well deserved (and overdo) promotion. However, it shouldn’t have taken a year since former Chief Met Jamie Kagol left for the new GM and News Director to bump up Ahmad.

Wow, what a difference a couple of days make. Now the shine is off Ahmad’s accomplishment getting a big promotion while colleagues like his former morning co-anchor Rachelle Spence gets the axe.

Ahmad obviously isn’t responsible for the corporate wide cuts. However the GM and News Director knew what was coming. And they chose the timing of Ahmad’s promotion. They even screw up a positive story.

And look at the congratulations note Neille sent to the entire staff. (Wonder how FTV Live got ahold of that???) Could Neille have put in any less effort in making the announcement for its new Chief Meteorologist who has worked at the station for nearly a decade??? One of the longest tenured employees who has suffered through both Barrington and now the Sinclair corporate Death Star. Two lines... that’s all you get.

We work for a bunch of idiots. Heartless, incompetent. Dung beetles would be better managers than the people Sinclair hires to run its stations.

Because he’s a great guy and one of the best meteorologists I’ve ever worked with. I wish management was obsessed about doing the right thing, don’t you?

No, I’m not obsessed with your management because I don’t work there but good luck to you.
