Peace returned to the KRON morning set; you can calm the children and notify your neighbors; although it's evident now that the two protagonists involved in Tuesday's mini-skirmish are not chummy with one another. Actually, they HATE each others GUTS! All of this is now a "she-said, she-said" event so the best run-down as to what exactly took place can be summed up in a variety of scenarios --with simple JEALOUSY at the heart of the matter; LOTS of it.
But is all this worth a fight? C'mon ladies.
On the Pro-Hong side, her backers tell me she's a "hard worker" and puts in many hours at the station; "she never leaves the place," a source tells me." And it should be pointed out that Hong, a veteran in the biz, is pregnant.
While some agreed that Hong is passionate about her position several others said she can be "difficult to work with; total 'drama woman." We've heard that before.
To be fair, Winston, the ex-KGO Radio traffic anchor, is, according to some observers, not exactly Princess Beauty either. Although she regularly gets raves from co-workers as a "very nice" and cordial person; her detractors say she uses her attractive looks and demeanor as a negotiating ploy.
Said one anti-Winston source: "She's a 'faker--she seems so nice on the outside but let me tell you; it's all an act. Her true colors were shown (in the skirmish with Hong) ...She is as fake as they come!"
KRON needs this drama like a hole in the head as it deals with continuing weak worker morale all the while it has PLANS to add a NEW 10 PM Newscast (we'll talk about that in a later story).
Meanwhile, its one-man HR dept, has sided with Hong but that a "new development" involving Winston has been added to the mix; both of the boxers were back to work on Wednesday Morning looking cheerful as ever-- we'll UPDATE when we get more information.

Fake is hiding your pregnancy from management before signing a contract. But you didnt here that from me.
ReplyDeleteAre you stupid or something. You don't have to disclose any medical related issues to your employer. That includes being pregnant.
DeleteMe love you long time.
DeleteOh me so horny!
DeleteI would refuse to work someplace where this was allowed to go on.
ReplyDeleteBlack cat vs. Pregnant Siamese..MEEEEOWWWRR!
ReplyDeleteCalm down ladies... it's just KRON.
KRONvicts in the prison yard...uh studio, should stick together (against management), not claw each other up.
Do your jobs ladies. If you think KRON (or any local station) is worth getting into this crap for...y'all need to go somewhere else.
We hear shit about Dan Lin, but we don't hear about Dah and Will Tran boxing it out.
Used Bentley's stuffing his pie hole with hit wings...*waiting for dresses to get torn off in tussle*
Huh?
DeleteThis comment makes literally no sense.
I will summarize.
Delete1. KRON ain't no big thing.
2. Guys can settle their differences in the workplace ==> "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" (My Fair Lady)
3. While waiting for the inevitable chick fight, "Used Bentley" will sit back and eat some hot wings.
Wow, a woman using her good looks to get ahead in life. That's only been going on for the past 5000 years of recorded history, so let's nip it in the bud.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that women do not compete or co-operate like men, and KRON is still a workplace where man-designed rules apply.
These two should be counseled to resolve their differences outside the workplace, and come back when they are done.
No, they should not be counseled. They are both petty and have been getting away with ugly behavior for awhile now. Neither has talent so its no loss to the station.
DeleteAlso LOL to Robin using her good looks to get ahead? Very definition of Butterface.
I bought into the proprietor's bold font comment. But objectively, I would say the two were equally (un)attractive -- that's why they are clashing. If one were a stunner, the other would shut up and accept her crumbs.
DeleteWhat's going on?!?! A Solar America graphic has been on (in lieu of dead air), for like five minutes!!!
ReplyDeleteAre the KRONVICTS rioting over there???
It's STILL on!!
For me, Hong is way easier on the eyes than Winston. I just watched'em both today. Nothing overt as is should be.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I've heard, "hiding your pregnancy from management before signing a contract."
So what?
Does a guy have to conceal he didn't use a raincoat during sex when applying for a job cuz he may want maternity leave benefits as the father?
Called KRON...Master Control is aware of the problem; they're working on it.
ReplyDeletePetersen Dean's getting a HUGE amount of free advo!
Haa! Robin looks and sounds way better than Anny! That's probably why shes upset. I've worked with Anny she not so nice at times. Im team #Robin Im glad she stood up for herself. Looks like Anny met her match.
ReplyDeletePut both of these women together and you get Leyla Gulen. We all know how that worked out.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I was working at-among other places-ABC in Los Angeles and as I used to do I had all the inside numbers. So one afternoon I was paging through the channels and going past KABC at 3pm it was in black. So I watched for a while. 3:02, 3;03, 3:04, finally at 3:05 I called Master and said they were in black. "Holy s---!" and Oprah came on.
ReplyDeleteStuff happens because we are people.And you can always count on behavior because that is where people are invested and get easily disappointed as well as entertained.
ReplyDeleteHR will do their job for both sides and the company. If someone is a behavior problem, it is fairly straight forward process. . HR or the individuals resolve the issue through mutual discussion with some clear boundaries and expectations or put them on a PIP. Not fun for anybody but usually resolves things.
And there is likely more to this story that may come out later. Stress behavior, whether it is outside or in the station, makes us all do things we regret. We know that because we are people too.
Anny is a shit starter. Plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteIs Robin a butterface? I've been in love with her for a while now, but these comments got me thinking. Anny is no big deal. This town is full of way better looking asians.
ReplyDeleteFuck man, did My Redbook just go back up? Why wasn't I told this. I didn't get the memo. Heads will roll and it's time to go into the boardroom where someone will be fired!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's about 500 bucks an hour right there!
I've worked with Robin. She is bad news. Always complaining about something and how her life sucks. She can pull a fast one and Anny should watch out.
