Way to tell it like it is. What a shame and what a fucking low life management team to not even inform the staff. |

Why is Finfer giving Quigs a pass? The guy is his fucking partner and didn't tell him. Quigs looks like he's going to cry. |

Is he the program director or something? |

You tell Quigley and then call a meeting with all involved. You don't tell him not to tell anyone and then let everyone else find out from a columnist. |

The video stream is great stuff. Finfer is pissed and Quigley has no clue what to do about it. You can really feel how uncomfortable he is once Finfer starts going off. |

Not that I don't get why he did it, but it's not like he did any ground-breaking radio in his anger's wake, nor did he probably do himself any favors either. While he probably didn't talk himself out of a future job, it's not like some PD somewhere would hear the tape and be so moved as to throw open the studio doors as well as the coffers to offer him the moon and more because of his inspiring fiery invective. I completely get it, I don't condemn it, but it's not a laudable reaction. |

He may have burned a few bridges. |

He knew it was coming. Maybe he thought they could make it through a full calendar year. At least he has a job through the holidays. |
