So if Alden can satisfy its junior partners, it is simply merging its "portfolio." Though bankrupt, both Media News and Tribune set aside a large "cash on hand" fund to buy things. So they stiff their vendors, stiff their employees but still have a bundle to throw around.

And that's why I tell you: Please get out.<br /><br />There's no reason for you to still be there.<br /><br />Yes, the economy is tough and jobs are hard to find. Especially if you're looking for another middling job at a mediocre newspaper. Those are gone. And the major metro dailies aren't going to hire you.<br /><br />So look elsewhere. See what's available. If you don't have the skills for those jobs, do what you must to start developing them.<br /><br />Too many of you have been sitting on your hands for four years now waiting for some magic opportunity. <br /><br />In that time, you could have learned new skills or earned a new degree to make yourself more marketable for a new career.<br /><br />Ask yourself, are you taking steps to make yourself better off a year from now? Two years from now?<br /><br />If not, start. There is no life preserver coming your way.

The Executive Editor should just put up a permanent sign on her office that reads "Gone Golfing," because that's all she does anyway, and when she's in the office, she's just so aloof.<br /><br />She doesn't recognize the talent she has, only the talent she thinks she should recognize because she's so afraid of criticism, which by the way, she's only too happy to hand out to the wrong people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-84735107626136818822011-05-14T07:46:19.889-07:002011-05-14T07:46:19.889-07:00Gary, can't you just copy and paste the commen...Gary, can't you just copy and paste the comments from the last time LANG did something?
