Is it good to have rumors about your station? Especially if you don't actually intend to change things?

I think it's a terrible call by management to make people wonder, because it produces a crappy product and can't plan anything for your entire station.

Pertains to nobody in particular, but many

What the hell is going on?

Yeah, it was a pretty good album. Fleetwood Mac's best I would say...

Although there was four of them so more of a love square, but no one gives on. They did do some of their best music back then.

Bret: Rumours

Murray: No, that’s all true

Who is wondering and what needs to be planned?

Honestly, no secrets here, just an exec (Rod Zimmerman) who I suspect and truely don't know leaves people hanging out to dry until the last second.

I worked for a guy like this. He was the worst person I ever met in my life. Nobody even close. After 30 days of him holding my contract I thanked him on a Friday for the past five years, and said I assume by no response to my numerous request for a contract that I was no longer needed.

He told me to sit down and asked if I was giving him 2 weeks? I told him I gave him 30 days. I didn't have a new job, I was just going to deals by myself.

At that time he made me an offer of basically keeping my contract. I laughed at him, saying, that I am walking out the door and you offer me the same thing I had? I could have gotten that by sitting in my office for the next 30 years I suspect.

Best thing was that in this meeting I had "HAND", I called this asswipes bluff and he didnt know what to do. He knew the day I walked out the door I am on the phone taking every client they had. I said pretty much everything I wanted to say, I got my deal + vacation time over and above.

In the end, the only way I got my deal was that I basically "walked" and not many people are willing to do that. I fully understand that and so do most execs. Thus they leave people hanging and wondering.

I think this results in a terrible product for every line of work. People are not willing to do the extras, they detest being in the environment that is making them sick. And I mean physically sick to their stomachs, because some people do get that way when their job is hanging in limbo.

I think in the past Mac was always willing to walk. In this era of recession contracts and $5.00 gasoline I'm not so sure. Plus, I'm pretty sure I heard him say his wife wasn't working.

His wife has a new gig. She had some time off in between jobs.

I would be shocked if Mac hasn't made enough money to retire already in hillbilly holler.

I know there are a few guys from NWI here but I don't think the rest of you understand just how cheap it is to live out there.

Why would his wife even have to work if Mac is pulling down somewhere in the low-mid 6 figures?

No way. Mac strikes me as a guy who likes spending it as much as he likes making it. That's not a criticism either. I'd say the same thing about myself.

You think Boats and Big Ten replica helmets are cheap?

Apparently he's not currently pulling down anything.

Mac's also said he's not retiring until payments for college are over.

He's conquered his demons so the money isn't going in that direction. He could have paid for his house, even at the top of the market, with the money he makes in a year. Dan is open about what he has. None of the stuff he describes cuts into a mid six figure salary very quickly.

She's a highly educated professional without children. Summer could be spent at the see-ment pond but winter in NWI would get pretty boring.

i like your morality. i even get this experience in the union trades. my mom is going through it right now in the non-union sector. i keep telling her to just politely quit. just say "i enjoy working here, everyone is great, but i do not make what i think i should be making. thank you for all the years, but youll need to find a replacement for me by next month."

shes too scared to do it though. she worked her way up to branch manager and she doesnt want to risk losing it... but i try to tell her that her skills are why she has that position, and they wont let her go without offering a substantial increase. theres just no other real way to get things out of companies thee days, everyone- including them- are pinching every penny, thats why we cant just sit back and wait for companies to give raises like we used to.

Very interesting stuff there. I hope some parts of it are true. I did not see a Goff mention though.
