Sports designer/copy editor, Montgomery, Al

Damn. I knew I shouldn't have left Alabama.

 

Look back a few pages and you'll be able to find the thread on the SE job/Zimanek. It'll be easy to spot, as it has a lock next to it.

 

Yes, I do remember that conversation. Just couldn't remember what job he was at now.

 

I don't think you want this one Ryan. Gannett will suck the creativity out of designers very quickly.

 

a. as if I had any.
b. that's what the blue font is for.

 

There's no grace period. Period.

 

I'm not sure if this spot is a replacement for Hugh, who was a good friend of mine for many years (I worked at the Agonizer for six years back in the 90s). Of course, a sports guy may be taking Hugh's place on the news side, prompting the opening.

I would encourage anyone who is considering this job to run -- don't walk -- away from this as fast as you can. Hugh's memorial service quickly devolved into beating up of management by current and former employees. Pretty ugly.

 

I couldn't have said it better myself.

 

That's what I'm here for, to make your life easier.

 

Ouch. I bet that was interesting.

 

I was told that bashing current management was tantamount to bashing the Advertiser -- past and present -- as a whole, product and people ... you mean bashing current management is, well, only bashing current management? I was misinformed then.

 

Aw, hell, are there any good jobs anymore?
