No desk, help me

I was once in a similar situation. The friggin' ME, who had no respect for the sports department, basically told me I should be lucky to even have a job. Then they hire a news reporter a couple of months later and re-arrange the entire news room to fit his desk in. When I asked the ME where my desk was, she hastily arranged for a small desk and crammed me in the corner of the newsroom.

Then when other people left, she won't let me use their desks, saying it was a "news desk." Keep in mind this was at a 20K paper where everyone was spread out, so there was no set space for the sports department.

This is the same ME that never gave me a new phonebook when they came out every year because "Sports guys don't use the phonebook." She even gave a new phonebook to one of those empty desks that I couldn't have because she wanted the new reporter, whenever he started, to have a new phonebook.

Pester her everytime you need a phone number.Â And do it for random shit like a funeral parlor or the post office. Come to think of it, I don't think I have a new phonebook. Hmmm.
