No ethics from SE

[Jackson Sundown]

For the second week in a row our sports editor has traveled on the bus with the college football team
he's suppose to be covering. The last reports we heard was that they were paying for his meals as well.
The worst part of all this is that our ME knows and hasn't put his foot down.
I'll admit I'm a bit biased because I cover the other college team and our budget won't allow for
me to travel. I've got the bigger school, yet our readers see datelines from all over the region from our SE
with the small college. My bureau chief and I proposed a one-night trip for $350 to our first conference game that included airfare, mileage to the airport and food and our ME shot it down. I was going to crash on a friend-of-a-friend's couch to save money. This gets nixed but our SE essentially gets to paint his face in small school colors before the game and it's OK.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Get your clips and resume together. This guy sounds like a looser.

 

[sportschick]

Got a resume? Send it out.

EDIT: Dammit, OTD beat me to it.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Take his job or get on the next bus out of town.

 

[Riddick]

usually a boss like that doesn't have the skills professoinaly to help you advance. Get out and put yourself in a position where you can learn and with a boss who has the skills to teach you.

Let us know who he is so we can hold him up to national journalistic scorn

Let us know who he is so we can hold him up to national journalistic scorn

More importantly - let us know who it is so nobody here applies for your job after you leave.

Quit yer bitching and hop on your team's bus. Problem solved!

It's that kinda Mickey Mouse attitude that'll keep you from getting that job with the Plain Dealer, Ace!

Definitely drop some resumes in the mail.

Once your lack-of-ethics boss finds out about this thread, you will be axed -- without two weeks notice.

Yea, it's probably not too hard for that SE to figure out who started this thread.

Chill, guys. Only a sports editor with no ethics would fire a guy for starting this threa.... Uh, oh!

That SE also likely is checking out this board to see a.) who blows him for his magnificent work -- maybe the football coach and the SID will! -- and b.) to see who's trashing his rag. You don't happen to work in Abilene, do you?

Yeah, he might chuck you out the front door like a mocassin and say "Get the hell out of here!"

 

[Crimson Tide]

Eh, maybe. Maybe not. I know a number of people who are clueless about this place. Too wrapped up in their own lives to get on a message board to ***** about stuff.

Yeah, and he's a LOSER to boot!

Sigh, gotta love a newbie coming on here, trying to correct grammar (and not getting the joke).

After you fire up the resume and send out 10 copies to papers all over the place, document all your SE's hackish ways and email a letter to your publisher. if you were super ballsy, you'd CC romenekso on it, but not even i'd do that (without another job lined up).
