The exodus of talent continues and while Jessica Castro leaving won't make the ship stop sailing, it nonetheless speaks volumes about the current morale.
"Everyone wants out," says another in-house source who like everyone else, is sending out resumes. The Disney tranquility? Not at KGO.
Not helping matters at the Embarcadero ABC O and O in SF is the new GM, better known as lame schmuco, Tom Cibrowski, the "Good Morning America" and ABC hightop who manages like an Eskimo in the Mojave Desert.
Cibrowski was brought in to massage the workforce and help maintain stability but so far is a supreme dork. Doesn't talk much; doesn't do much of anything; likes to take long lunches and has a habit of not returning phone calls from associates and business people concerned about the KGO news operation.
A new GM that doesn't do anything? Prime Disney picking.
If the GM is not taking calls from NY HQ, then why do he & Trixie still have jobs? And don't use ratings as an excuse, since they have slipped a little. ABC needs to see the dim bulb light in SF.
ReplyDeleteHaving worked in the biz 20 years I can say that whether you keep your job or how far you advance in it has nothing to do with competence. What DOES it have to do with? Damned if I know, other than communal ass-kissing.
