MiLB.com 30-hour gig

Saw this on craigslist (Sorry if it's already on this site. I did a quick search and only saw something from 2007)... Editorial position for their Web site. Must be part-time, since they're saying it's just 30 hours a week. Located in NYC.

On a side note, has anyone ever had any luck with this jlc@mlb.com e-mail address?

 

A good editor with some html background could rise quickly (well, not to any position of power, but to a f/t gig) at mlbam, I'd imagine, knowing people there. it's not a bad job for someone with basic knowledge of grammar, style, etc who needs a gig.

 

These are the same assholes who shed most of their minor league staff last year. And these are the same assholes who "can't afford" to pay interns this year, even though MLB Network prints a billion dollars an hour.

If you like working for a gutless, spineless, exploitative company that rarely rewards competence, this gig is all yours. Otherwise, fuck them.

 

What do you think this pays?

 

How sad. I think you just describe every company still involved in the newspaper business.

 

Thirty hours a week with no benefits is a perfect fit for NYC.

 

Yeah I realized that after I posted it.

But I have a special contempt for those who choose to act like newspaper barons when they AREN'T in danger of a self-inflicted demise.
