who did they lose?

 

[AVSE]

the sports editor. im me for more details

 

[Editude]

Is this the job implied in the Coming Soon thread?

 

[Dexter]

Have some insight on this one, too

 

[AVSE]

sort of, it kind of shook out differently than expected

 

[thegrifter]

well, what's the scoop?!!?

 

[Dexter]

The sports editor resigned Friday with the plan to stay until replacement could be found or end of year. they told him to get lost the same day the resignation letter was submitted. There was some friction between a couple younger members of the staff and the SE, and word is that management was little help.

 

[thegrifter]

what's the circ. and where did the SE end up going?

 

[Cadet]

The SE was a good guy in a bad situation. He's due for a bit of good karma.

 

[Dexter]

He was shown the door upon submitting a letter. From what I understand he wasn't planning to be unemployed the same day.

 

[lefty2432]

So are they still looking for a writer? (i.e. the coming soon thread)

sort of, it kind of shook out differently than expected

Palmdale ... "shook out" ... that's clever.

Isn't Palmdale smack on the San Andreas Fault?

 

[Dexter]

yep. and long overdue for a big quake.

 

[Songbird]

Quartz Hill used to be a good football team. Are they still?

 

[Dexter]

Until last season they were pretty awful for about 10 years.

 

[Trunkmonkey]

Anybody at all know how much this job might pay? Ballpark?

 

[friend of a friend]

Negotiable

From "Coming Soon" thread:

It looks as if a position will be opening at the Antelope Valley Press in Palmdale, California. I'm unsure as to when an ad will be posted, but unless I get frozen, it should be in the next couple weeks. If you're interested in hard work and low pay at a paper that is family owned, doesn't believe in the web and not laying people off, feel free to IM me or show that you're really interested and send me an email.
