A truly stinky situation at the NJ Courier-Post

[Double Down]

And you thought morale was bad at your paper.

That's awesome! I once thought of leaving a deuce in our publisher's personal toilet, but never followed through.

 

[Write-brained]

What's sad is that whoever did it obviously got the idea from this site ...

****.

Some people must have had some stories that really did break them.

Isn't that where Gannett shipped the editor who used to run the paper in Nashville? It must be a real plum assignment.

If they truly are being told to work overtime and not being paid, they can drop a dime to the feds and cause a lot more havoc to the suits instead of keeping the janitor jumping.

Someone's been reading our cries for upper decking.

Between this situation and Hawaii, no wonder the newspaper head at Gannett is bailing out.
But I do hope they enjoy the Johnny Rivers concert with Singleton.

Gannett can talk about transforming their papers all they want, if they can't take care of the simple, basic stuff it doesn't say much about their management.

I guess there's only so much ****ting upon a staff will take before they respond in kind.

I'm taking this story to my grave. ...

 

[Barsuk]

I saw this yesterday and sincerely responded, "Holy ****!," before I realized my unintentional pun.

I was thinking more along the lines of prunes...

Thats great! Im a reporter in College and when i saw the name of the thread it reminded me of a problem we have in our building. It seems like a skunk has found our building as a nice home, so she has now had babies so we have an awful smell in our roof. The ongoing joke is getting our student editor to go chasing after it.

 

[crusoes]

Has Najeh Davenport been named the editor?

Don't you have to pay legal fees though to do that?

And even if they are able to pursue a formal complaint to the government, their management can just turn around and fire them - especially since NJ is an "employment at-will" state.

 

[wickedwritah]

Have heard that the morale there has been very, very low for a long time.

 

[Armchair_QB]

The ME is lucky the mystery ****ter didn't decide to wildcat him and drop a deuce in a desk drawer.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

"management has sent in investigators to get to the bottom of the case"

Can you dust for feces prints?

 

[DanOregon]

Maybe it was just a Baby Ruth
