new britain, conn: "starting-level pay ... lot of experience and responsibility"

It inspires me.

 

I miss your insight

 

Unparalleled insight, BYH ... and yet JRC is deserving of every word.

Bob Jelenic made a big mistake not promoting you to HR or PR for his empire.

 

I <3 BYH.

I'll miss him when he dies in six months.

 

It is a job. That's relatively positive.
You don't have to live in New Britain or Hartford. You could also rob banks and live out in the pretty, leafy burbs with the Courant editors.

 

It's JRC. That outweighs any positivity.

 

will we have a service for him?

 

This is why I love this place.

The carrier pigeon line from Thailand was especially choice.

 

True enough. Maybe not ideal, but it is something.

 

No offense, but anyone who thinks a JRC job is something positive has never worked for the company. There's nothing positive to be taken from the experience.

If you've worked there, you didn't laugh at the sucking dick for money line. Because you'd rather do that than work at the JRC again.

 

naw, the beating on jrc here is excessive. if i were you, i'd ignore it all, write all of us off as dumbasses, and apply for this position.

please keep us updated, and soar, fly like the wind, my friend.

good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not all of you should be ignored or written off, because some of you have good information. The trick is sorting through what is good and what is not, and applying it to you. For example, BYH obviously had a negative experience with a JRC paper, but I had a positive one and would work for that paper again. The lesson is to listen to what others say, then process it, because what one person can't adjust to, another person doesn't really mind.

As far as applying, I wouldn't, because a copy editor is not what I want to be as my main job. I don't mind doing it on the side as part of my job, but I'm a reporter first.
