[BC] Horror story in the making??????

[DANA PUOPOLO]

I worked for a station where the GM would stand at the door and write down the
time you came in every morning. If you weren't there by 9:10 his receptionist
would be on the phone looking for you. Of course, she would do this before
reading her memos (this was b4 email), so I'd always get woken up if I had
worked all night (they also used to require the CE to do overnight FM
automation duty if someone called in sick).

I lasted exactly one year there; I gave notice two weeks before my first year
anniversary.

This was an AM/FM combo owned by a major media (hint) group with a great
reputation....I discovered later that this was it's "toilet" station...

" and while you're at it- could you change the bulbs in the ladies room as 
well. They've been out since yesterday morning. And before you go back home 
to go to sleep, could you unlock the PD's door? Seems he locked all of the 
morning show carts in there last night"

Ahh yes. Remember it well.
