gja: Hope they never expect to use that job as a reference:

If only their work had been recorded in some manner, so that they could prove they held those newscasting positions and show the quality of their work.

Good for them. I worked at a restaurant once where the owner of the place was a dick. (More than one)
The entire staff had a meeting and decided we would all keep out attitudes up, seek work elsewhere, and all quit on the same day, just before the big rush season.
He went out of business.

Another one stiffed me for a raise and got a broken nose for that.
His mother tried to hire me, because no one had ever stood up to her son.
no thanks, mom, he's a product of you.

Rule #1 Don't fark with my paycheck.
Rule #2 I don't work with drunk women.
Rule #3 Don't lie to me about the work. the deal is the deal, as the transporter says.

tira: At the risk of identifiable information, as someone who came dangerously close to working at that station...

"we both felt there was a lack of knowledge from ownership and upper management in running a newsroom"

Is the biggest understatement of the year, you people have no idea.

Most stations are run by CMA's and CGA's now, not people with actual, you know, broadcasting experience. I pity anyone in journalism right now. Anyone with ethics, anyway.

You have to admire their integrity. I'm sure they just limited their job prospects as well.

If this turns in to a "most immature but satisfying way to quit your job" thread I will have to return.

lenfromak: Christ on a cracker. The unskippable ad before the segment was as long as the segment itself.

Sounds like you need Ad Block Plus

A local and popular DJ in the Raleigh market had the format of his station changed by the new management. He put up with playing country and western for a while (he was a classic rock DJ before), but eventually couldn't stand it any longer.

He put on "Take this Job and Shove It", left the studio and locked the door behind him, and walked out. It was about five minutes before anyone noticed he wasn't in there any more and get the door open...

At least they finished the newscast. That was classy.

We had a radio guy walk out on the afternoon drive time shift when he got his layoff notice. He was classy too, but bitter and it was effective - dead air at 430pm....awkward.

What news anchors in Maine might look like.

/hot like lobsters in a boiling pot

Station management just got told to eff themselves.

She said bang-OR.

And it's better than doing what Christine Chubbuck did.
