Uh, I didn't even apply for the job. I just happen to know some of the principles involved and was interested in how the Naples paper was going to handle this opening after it botched the last one it had posted for a columnist job (ask Guy to refresh your memory on that debacle).

I wouldn't call it a witch hunt, wicked. And everybody in this business should care about to what lengths publishers and HRs are going in order to affect the bottom line at the expense of us, the people responsible for putting out the product on a daily basis. Again, I'm not looking to unveil...

Fetch it yerself Jack. I'm not a newbie. spup1122, We've heard inklings from a pretty reliable source in Ed Reed, who is the ASE at the neighboring paper, and there also were inferences made by the originator of this thread, which is why I asked him to shed more light on the situation so that...

And I would say keeping track of my posts down to the second would qualify as a clear sign of obsession on your part, Jack(ass). Again, it's not the low ball offer and why she decided to take it I'm concerned with, it's the question regarding no benefits and whether or not the paper is...

Got one Jack. And not obsessed, just concerned about what kind of example this can wind up setting if indeed the offer made to Angela was less than righteous. I definitely do not want to see anyone in our field, especially young college grads trying to break into the biz, be taken advantage of.

Anybody? Anybody?

Bueller? Bueller?

Guybehindtheguy, Are you out there? Can shed anymore light here?

Desk dude, I already covered that. This is a totally different animal. I don't think this is contributing like I talked about earlier. It sounds like what temp agencies do. Again, maybe Guybehind the guy can clarify for us.

Guy, You seem to be the most informed about this situation, being as this was your original post, so what's the deal here? What sort of trend is Naples setting here with this non-traditional offer (no benefits, empty promises, etc.)? Did she or did she not get offered the actual vacant position...

Define "pretty high salary" unfreezeme. And I wouldn't put much stock in any "promise" of making things right in a few months, not with waht we've all seen and heard around here lately from newspapers everywhere. The bottom line and staffing situations change with the wind in just about every...

wicked, You're not kidding. I'd call that a very slippery slope, like a black diamond ski run at Aspen. Ed, Have you been able to confirm the details of this hire? I'm sure I'm not alone in saying my curiosity has been peaked and my fear of other papers picking up on that trend is growing.

Simply outstandimg piece of work. Agree it should make its way into BASW.

Just read a few of his recent comments on the Blades Blog. He seems to be quite the instigator. He's already calling out Hardwig and AK's replacement(s).

Great time for the new person to start -- NOT

Guy, Any tidbits on what the "adjustments" were to the offer?

Anyone hear how those two college prospects worked out?

So I guess the post-Andy Kent era has begun without a surefire replacement, being that the SE, Mr. Hardwig, had to write the latest game advance.

Jason Williams is moving on in two weeks.

If I'm reading Andy's blog correctly, tonight is his last game. Wonder who on staff is getting thrown to the lions.
