Should Google or innovative bloggers (yourself for example) feel bad that these guys get paid jack from these large media companies that are trying to hang on.<br /><br />I think producing a radio show takes a fairly sharp person - you have to keep the show on pace, keep the talent in ilne, I imagine the skills required for the job has grown as they have less people doing things. But, it's not like they're not given options. This is San Francisco, these are young men with brains. Instead of asking for some pay increase from some large organization who gives a rats ass about people, do this:<br />1. Figure out how much money you want or need to make<br />2. Align your skill set with a job that pays well and matches your skill set<br />3. Apply to one of the thousands of jobs available today that pay well, provide wonderful benefits and perks<br />4. Quit working for a dying medium<br /><br />If you have a passion for it, then set up your own podcast and do it as a hobby, but don't act like Cumulus or any of these other companies owe it to you to pay you well. $25m isn't a ton, and who knows what their operating expenses are.<br /><br />I laugh at guys like PConn or however you spell it who has a pretty witty personality, does some good work for KNBR, yet thinks he's owed more money from KNBR. If he was considered "real talent", KNBR would give him a time slot, pay him $100k or so, and he'd be happy. But he's been there forever, he seems to spend his money on beer and cigs, and complains about a living wage.<br /><br />The dude can talk - put your fingers to a keyboard, put out a resume, hit the pavement and go into sales or something. But don't whine to us about not making a great salary in radio.<br /><br />That's like a reporter coming out of college and wondering why the Chronicle isn't going to pay them big bucks for covering the crime beat or something. <br /><br />Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845326183661240912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-77930252547101913182016-07-25T23:16:02.446-07:002016-07-25T23:16:02.446-07:00I've never worked in a business environment wh...I've never worked in a business environment where I expected coworkers who made more than me to go to my boss and insist that I get paid better.

But more and more companies are appealing to stockholders vs. workers.
