Serious question.

Does Ranger, Joe O, Drinky, Shep or any of the other SCORE back ups actually go up to Mitch and say, "I'd like to be Bernstein's new partner. I'll do it well. I'll make you proud. I won't let you down, sir."

Seems to me they sit back, wait for the decision and cry on the air when they get passed over. What's the worse that can happen? He says "No"? So what? Then you continue producing or updating like you would have done had you not asked. Some bosses might like that type of initiative. If nothing else, Mitch might think of this "Go get 'em" attitude/confidence for the next opening.

To answer my own question, I would guess that none of them do that. Which is stupid.

My guess is that once again Beardown has no idea what he is talking about.

You really think these guys work at the SCORE and do not show interest in wanting a promotion?

Stupid.

Of course they want it, but I don't think they present themselves to their boss in a manner where he thinks much about them. Christ, Dan Hampton and Pat Mannelly got gigs over the SCORE staffers. Staffers that Mitch sees every day. But he also sees Ranger snapping towels at Joe O or drinky dry humping Ranger during updates. See what I'm saying?

Maybe if they ask for a meeting with Mitch, put on a suit, act just a little bit serious, present their case as to why they are good, he might think twice before giving it to the stuttering Dan Hampton just cuz he was a 1985 Chicago Bear.

Guys like Drinky, Ranger and Joe O need to lose the frat boy persona and actually show the boss that they're not fucking yahoo idiots. Then once they get the gig, they can go back to being frat boys!!!! That's all I'm saying.

I'm not even talking about after the point Terry made his announcement. The staffers have a chance to show themselves to Mitch long before the outsiders come in for interviews when a gig does open. So maybe ask for a meeting well before a job opens. That sort of thing.

Then again, at this point, none of these guys can fool Mitch. He knows them too well by now. So maybe the lesson is don't be a yahoo jack ass when you start at the SCORE as a producer. Kind of show Mitch you have a brain from the get go. That you're a little bit serious at least some of the time. Might help you down the road.

They probably did express interest in the role. Why is there doubt that they wouldn't have? In any organization, if there is an opening, some will be more aggressive than others, but all will probably express interest in the role although I don't think any would talk openly about the job since it wasn't actually open until December 22nd and they probably wouldn't want to burn any bridges.

If anyone ever actually said this, they should be relegated to an administrative assistant role in the department that deals with solicitor phone calls.

Make yourself known is all I'm saying. Might not help but it couldn't hurt.

I was being sarcastic with the quote of how they should say it. Trying to be funny. You couldn't pick that up? But you get the point. Make yourself known is all I'm saying. Might not help but it couldn't hurt.

On air host is not the natural promotion from producer.

I think it happened that way in the past because they hired on air quality talent who to entry level jobs as producers with an agreement for some odd hour airtime. The guys they hire these days seem like lifetime producers

I bet the only one who went to Mitch and said they wanted the job was BIG FAT RED
