    I don't get it. So he's not supposed to let anyone know he's been promoted? I thought that was always standard that you let people know when you have a new position.

    The way it was presented earlier in this thread, it sounds like it was a lot more than just letting people know that he got a new position ...

    I realize it could be exaggerated or just flat wrong, but this makes it sound like he went straight from getting his promotion to trying to get to another gig. Maybe I'm naive, but to make that call to see if he now qualifies for a job elsewhere on the same day he got the promotion is bad form. If I was his current employer and I found out about this, he wouldn't be working for me for long.

    Oh, gawd, just when the nightmares stopped!!

    Thank you for the kind words, SheffieldAvenue. And I was there for 10 months, although it seemed like a matter of weeks, maybe. Ten months puts me into the top five for longetivity, I think, maybe behind Clark, Sansone, Campbell, Breen.

    Second day on the job, I felt like Chief Brody:
    "You're gonna need a bigger boat!"

    Never seen anything like it (except for CNHI).

    Paul, be thankful you're not living the nightmare. Others, obviously there are some things happening at this place that are questionable. It's a gig, but I'm getting it's a place to be leery of.

    I always take a Machiavellian viewpoint on these kinds of things. You don't want people fleeing to a destination/dream job paper like the Chicago Tribune, you give them the best job security possible. I can't blame Mr. Breen for looking out for No. 1.

    What I can't figure out is, why would the Chicago Tribune use this outpost as a "feeder paper." How many times has this happened? Does twice make a trend?

    Outpost? This paper is less than 25 miles from the Trib. It's still inside Chicagoland

    Sorry -- I meant "outpost" journalistically speaking.

    I remember when this opening first surfaced around this time last year. And here we are a year later.
