THEIR GM having bolted the station (he said "retired" which is total BS) because he was being undressed by staff who not only felt besieged by his careless managing; leaving the office early every day; and total overall incompetence, KTVU senior staffers are looking to bolt the station and find work elsewhere--in droves.Gregg Kelley, perhaps sensing that the rank and file were fed up and looking to go elsewhere, was one of the major reasons why he quit. And quit before important November Sweeps. There's more: Fox stations O and O suits were beginning to gauge Kelley and current, veteran HR manager, Chris Nohr. KTVU continues to have careless problems from graphics to director malfeasance. Its behind-the-scenes personnel are a mess.
Other stations in and out of the Bay Area market have seen resumes invade the back offices. The mellow mood inside has disappeared and even interns are nervous and want out.
Stay tuned for this ongoing story.

I've worked for crappy bosses and been around back stabbers a few times in my career. Doesn't matter how bad it get professional pride keeps me executing at high level. So how does Kelly leaving early and Nohr being a witch (assuming that's even so) impact "careless problems from graphics to director malfeasance" as you state?
ReplyDeleteOh come on, interns don't give a shit. It's just the first step in their careers, or to even see if they want a career in this shit profession. They're not looking to stay usually.
ReplyDeleteNo matter hiw bad it gets at KTVU you can be sure that nobody is going to retire unless forced. The days of sending the resume across the street and making more money are gone.
ReplyDeleteThe IS a deep state at KTVU and they are protecting the old guard as best as they can.
Besides...
It's pretty easyn work and the pay is still pretty good at KTVU.
They will suck it up Buttercup, because God forbid they get kicked out of the SF "media club".
I sure hope HH doesn't bolt!
ReplyDeleteHH is hot in a trailer trash kind of a way
DeleteAnother factor maybe attributed to the political hard right slant taken since the Fox schmoes rolled in.
