Re: Interesting Radio Depatures

Chuck:

As you can see below, I never claimed to have been fired from WIDE, though I 
probably deserved to be at times.  I also gave the station credit for paying 
me through the end of the week when I quit, which they didn't have to do.  
The memo you mentioned may have been the final straw but I quit because it 
was a horrible place to work, for various reasons.  (I won't say it was the 
worst place I have ever worked because there are so many contenders.)  One of 
my least pleasant memories in radio was trying to decipher commercial copy at 
WIDE submitted in the GM's horrible handwriting and then being forced to 
recut the spot the next day because I didn't decipher his scribbles correctly.

As for the list of worse bosses that I mentioned in my last post, I wouldn't 
put you in the top ten Chuck, but the GM mentioned above would probably make 
the list.

were being unfair?) period.
 the only person fired from WIDE while i was ops manager was a gentleman who 
decided to start his weekend early, and walked off the board during a red sox 
game, at least a full hour before he was due to be relieved.  and that wasn't 
you.
