I Quit, Part 2... this time for real...

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Well after 16 years in the radio business, I'm done. Maybe not forever, but for a good while anyway. I left that ever-increasing shithole of a station last Friday... cleaned out my office Saturday... am now enjoying some vacation time... and will start my new gig working for a local ad agency next week.

As many of you know I've worked as both an account exec. and on-air for the last 5 years. I've been on the air somewhere for 16 years. This was my first venture into the sales side of the business. Now that I have made many good friends out of clients who bought advertising from me in radio... I get a chance to tell my piece of shit company president and increasingly ****ed-up management where to shove it..... and the best part is... I'm taking several of their accounts with me. No longer will that radio station have any negotiating power with any of those clients. No longer will they have the right to even call on those clients directly. They're mine now. I do the buying for them... radio, tv, print, billboards, yellow pages, you name it. I do the creative. I'll voice many of the ads. I have the power. The radio station has none. They will now answer to me, not the other way around. They will now take what that can get...what I give them...... and the ****ers will like it.........and they can kiss my lilly-white ass anyway.

I dedicate this job change to everyone who has ever wanted to turn the tables on their asshole bosses. May the people rise up and take down their oppressors....

:p

Wish me luck.

Thanks... and ROFL

I only 5-fingerd a Night Ranger CD from two jobs ago I think. I did make it pretty hard for them to....... shall we say.......... find all of the pertinent information on some of the accounts they have, before I left. I guess they shouldn't have told us to keep everything on our PERSONALLY OWNED laptops.....

Obviously, there was no sinister motive. I think people thought it was overplayed. Anytime something is overplayed, it becomes annoying. Kind of like the constant whining about it - it's overplayed. I don't know why you aren't hearing me. Shut up about it. Never speak of it again and people will forget. We can't move on until you do.



Congratulations Todd. Be careful. I have a personal friend who mounted a coupe against his business partner when the partner stopped pulling his weight. He also lost a $10,000,000 judgment against him. You may wish to consult with an attorney to ensure you haven't inadvertently done something illegal.

I was doing the same thing before... working for commission. I made a minimal on-air salary. Now I have a list that is all my own and will get commissions for all of their advertising rather than just from one radio station. It's all good. These are clients that are very focused on advertising, whereas many of my sales calls before were cold.

I seriously considered starting my own agency over the past several months. The agency I'm going to work for is owned and run by an old friend that I have a lot of repect for and want to basically partner with him to make the agency really successful. He has reached maximum growth potential without adding someone to bring in and handle new accounts. That's where I come in. I feel like it's the best possible scenario for both us of. It will be easier for both of us to make more money together than separate.

[bogie]

Let me guess, you are an owner....or in "management?" :hmmm:

Why would you think that? Yes, I am in management. After Beer me explained that they changed the rules in mid stream, it makes sence. However, I know so many people with horrible attitudes that do nothing but bitch (usually behind the company's back) but are still willing to take the money.

Nice job assuming you know something about a situation you have absolutely no clue about. I'd tell you about the many screw jobs management has put on the sales staff over the last several months... things that caused another rep to leave the same day I did...and two more to be on there way out as we speak.... but I don't have time for it here and you obviously know everything anyway.

Its so hard to tell what radio announcers may look like by their voice.

I called this radio station once and the DJ started talking to me off the air, he called me 2 or 3 times a day, so we decided to meet, I went to the station one night while he was working and here sit this guy must have wieghed 300 lb, he was very nice on the phone and when I met him he said "I know your disappointed" I said "hey you can never have too many friends", didn't want to hurt his feelings.

He called me about 3 mos later and said he had lost 9 inches off his waist, I expressed how glad I was for him and we remained friends for a long time.

If he looked like he sounded on the air he would have been one sexy mofo.

[badgirl]

Guess badgirl's never heard of a "face made for radio".
well no one said they had to be good looking, but he didn't bother telling me he barely fit in his chair. :rolleyes:

A lot of people bitch about work; it's kinda of a national past time. Most don't really mean it, or if they do they are too lazy to do anything about it--so screw 'em. Most, if they are truly fed up, like beer me, will do what beer me did. It's called capitalism and the free market. Seems to work pretty well, yes.

Management and owners though, often operate under the delusion they are all are good to their workers. A job is good, but treating employees fairly and with respect is another thing. Many businesses provide jobs; but far fewer genuinely treat their workers as fairtly and respectfully as they think they do. I often hear managers and business owners lament the quality of workers today; I think they are missin' the boat. They have crappy employees because that's what they deserve. Companies that are genuinely good, generally have good and happy employees.

All I'm sayin' is if you have crappy employees, you'd probably ought to look into "why" that is....and you should begin by lookin' in the mirror.

Do you have people working under you, I am not trying to be bitchy toward you, but you make it sound like if you have a job you should just blow up at work over your trouble and walk out, if you have a family, thats not always an option. :thumb: Sorry if I made you mad at me, I am just expressing how I feel, sorry bout the name calling too ok :thumb:

[Calcountry]

True, its not a birthright, but its hard to get a good job these days, and if you have one, just cause you don't agree with stuff or are pissed off over something don't mean you can just walk out and find another job, Bush is in office you know. We need to hang onto what ever we have going for us.I must now invite you to the DC forum. Do you really want to take this political? I do not.

Please tell me WTF does Bush have to do with whether or not you can get a job?

Lets not make it political, and especially don't get me started about Bush I choose to stay polite and stay out of the DC forum, I don't like him at all, thats all I'll say about that. :harumph:

[badgirl]

Damn. There's one more job I can't get.

Oh well... I'll get another shot in 2008, I guess.
I'd vote for ya. :thumb:

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Employees do a lot of bitching about their boss, and yet he IS their boss. Perhaps he knows a few things, otherwise why is he boss?
:hmmm: ............................ NO................... he doesn't.....


:)

[badgirl]

Wow. You really aren't that bright.
If it was a toss up between you and the current one HEll ya I'd vote for anyone on this BB :banghead:

[Calcountry]

We need to hang onto what ever we have going for us.Exactly my point. A worker ought to thank God that he has a job, and do and EXCELLENT job whether or not their Boss is a dip shit. It should be a matter of personal pride or work ethic, to do your best regardless. Obviously, it is a free country and a person is free to seek to better themselves anyway they can. Frankly, someone who has this "ethic" will have no problem bettering themselves, as astute managers and "bosses" recognize the value of a worker who strives for excellence. They stand out.

Just watch that show "The Apprentice". None of the back stabbing, whining, sabotoging jerks on that show ever prevail.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........PLEASE DON'T GO THERE!!!



:banghead:

[Calcountry]

Damn. There's one more job I can't get.

Oh well... I'll get another shot in 2008, I guess.No you won't, its unconstitutional for you to hold that office until you are at least 35 years old. Go figure eh?

I always do my job well, I have never been fired for not doing a good job, I do feel if your going to get paid you need to do your best, after all that is why you get a check, but I don't feel like there are jobs out there where no one has a complaint, but yea I agree with you on the above statement. :thumb:

[Calcountry]

:hmmm: ............................ NO................... he doesn't.....


:)I would hypothesise, that he won't be a boss very long then.

[Calcountry]

If it was a toss up between you and the current one HEll ya I'd vote for anyone on this BB :banghead:Would you vote for me if you knew I would Nuke the shit out of N Korea preemtively. ?

As this appies to me and just for the record... I did an excellent job. I was among the top billers at the station. Not the best...but not far off.

[Calcountry]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........PLEASE DON'T GO THERE!!!



:banghead:ROFL4 MORE YEARS!

[Calcountry]

I'll have just as much shot in 2008 as I had this year.Yes, there is truth in what you say. :p

[Calcountry]

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I would hypothesise, that he won't be a boss very long then.
Yes he will........ he's 49% owner now.

:cuss:

[badgirl]

Would you vote for me if you knew I would Nuke the shit out of N Korea preemtively. ?
un NO :rolleyes:

[Mr. Kotter]

Dude, I am all for what you did bro, it is a free country.

But the post about looking in the mirror cuts both ways. Employees do a lot of bitching about their boss, and yet he IS their boss. Perhaps he knows a few things, otherwise why is he boss?

I hear you; and I suspect you are a decent guy to work for or you wouldn't be in business for very long if you weren't.

Bitchin' does cut both ways; and bosses can be very capable and effective people. However, they can also become arrogant, complacent, and jaded. Sometimes they don't seem to be able to recognize that when it does happen....and instead they blame their business troubles on 'poor workers' or a lame 'worker pool." Instead, they have themselves to blame.

I am a staunch advocate of free enterprise, capitalism, and the free market. However, Coolidge's quote: "The business of America is business. The man who owns a business builds a temple. The man who works there worships there" is representative of the sort of condescension and delusional self-worth you hear from some bosses/owners. The truly great American companies keep the proper perspective and treat their employees fairly and with respect. Otherwise, they don't last long.

[badgirl]

:thumb:So you are not a Suck up at your job?
No I do my job and it speaks for itself, I don't feel the need to suck up. :shake:

[Calcountry]

Yes he will........ he's 49% owner now.

:cuss:Then its his money, if he wants to be stupid with it, then let him. ;)

[Calcountry]

un NO :rolleyes:Well I would, my daddy got shot in N Korea, so it is a personal vendetta. lmao.

[Calcountry]

Yes, there is truth in what you say. :p Lots of shots.

[badgirl]

Well I would, my daddy got shot in N Korea, so it is a personal vendetta. lmao.
um well ok then, do what ya must ROFL

[Calcountry]

No I do my job and it speaks for itself, I don't feel the need to suck up. :shake:ditto. I sucked up so much, I bought the company.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Then its his money, if he wants to be stupid with it, then let him. ;)
You are correct sir... but he can do it without me and three others..one who has already quit as well.... two more who are ready..... and at least one other on-air person who I hear interviewed for another job today.

The best thing he could do would be to own from afar rather than make everyone's life hell from the inside.

[badgirl]

ditto. I sucked up so much, I bought the company.
Do you have people who suck up to you?

If I was a boss and had these ass clowns sucking up all the time I would find a reason to get rid of their asses, people who are sucking up are usually the laziest ones.

Yes, the mirror is there, and it is good to look in it regularly. :)

[badgirl]

Well I stand up for myself, but I have seen so many people brown nose the boss, its disgusting, especially women sucking up to the boss if its a man, I've never got it, I mean be friendly and all, but I mean really suck up, I am speaking mostly of factory workers, other than the medical field thats where I have worked.

I don't know maby bosses like that, who knows I've never been a boss, I don't like having a boss either, driving a truck , which I also have done is a good job, there are people to anwser to, but no one standing over you, get your load there on time and pick em up on time and your on your own in between, thats a good job. :thumb:

[bogie]

A lot of people bitch about work; it's kinda of a national past time. Most don't really mean it, or if they do they are too lazy to do anything about it--so screw 'em. Most, if they are truly fed up, like beer me, will do what beer me did. It's called capitalism and the free market. Seems to work pretty well, yes.

Management and owners though, often operate under the delusion they are all are good to their workers. A job is good, but treating employees fairly and with respect is another thing. Many businesses provide jobs; but far fewer genuinely treat their workers as fairtly and respectfully as they think they do. I often hear managers and business owners lament the quality of workers today; I think they are missin' the boat. They have crappy employees because that's what they deserve. Companies that are genuinely good, generally have good and happy employees.

All I'm sayin' is if you have crappy employees, you'd probably ought to look into "why" that is....and you should begin by lookin' in the mirror.

JMHO.

FTR, I think I made peace with beer me for not getting the full story prior to my posting (even though he called me an idiot :deevee: )
Additionally, I AM good to the people that I employ, because they are my friends and great employees, so I'm not talking about them. I don't agree that far fewer businesses don't treat their workers as fairly and respectfully as they think they do. I believe the majority of businesses treat their employees fairly and respectfully. Perhaps far to many employees believe they are owed more than the business is willing or able to give, but that's not necessarily the companies fault. Most managers started out as employees and worked their asses off to earn the right to be managers. I worked in tourism in MO for 13 years and became sick of it. Rather than stick around and bitch, I moved to CA 15 years ago and started over. I was a 32 year old producton assistant (runner/gopher), most p.a.'s were fresh out of college. When I was coming up in this industry and tourism, I worked along side numerous people that bitched just for the sake of bitching and those people drive me f*cking crazy. I don't like people that dislike management just because they're management. To those people I say get the hell out of my life!!

I agree with that....and sorry for calling you an idiot.... :D

I loved my boss and she was damn good at her job...even when she'd come down on me a little bit. Sadley, she got cancer at age 42 and only survived another 6 months. The moron that took her place and the people he put in charge are the people I have...and several others at the station have a problem with.

It's truly sad that the station has gone the direction it has since my old boss' death. She must be rolling over in her grave.

[badgirl]

yea we also had that, its like a mini key board and they have like a little sattelite dish on the truck, they can track you,but once again they are not right there with you telling you when you can take a break, smoke eat, as long as you do your job and the load is on time, undamaged, thats their concern. Its called Qual-Com.

There is a big trucking terminal near here, and they live in the KC area, but were out here dropping off a load and called me up to visit while they were being lumped.

I've always dreamed of being an underling.


fwiw... I've been a manager too... at three different stations.

So which paid more and had more pressure?

Speaking for myself, I have editors working for me that make more and have MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, less stress. They also get OT and DT.

I have dreamed of being over and under underlings, but that would be sexual harassment.

Its so hard to tell what radio announcers may look like by their voice.

I called this radio station once and the DJ started talking to me off the air, he called me 2 or 3 times a day, so we decided to meet, I went to the station one night while he was working and here sit this guy must have wieghed 300 lb, he was very nice on the phone and when I met him he said "I know your disappointed" I said "hey you can never have too many friends", didn't want to hurt his feelings.

He called me about 3 mos later and said he had lost 9 inches off his waist, I expressed how glad I was for him and we remained friends for a long time.

If he looked like he sounded on the air he would have been one sexy mofo.

I didn't realize you'd already met beer me.

[morphius]

I didn't realize you'd already met beer me.
Hey, Jazzz is every bit as sexy as she sounds, of course nobody has ever heard her, so take that for what its worth.

Exactly how does one determine if there ass is indeed lilly white?

Mine seems to be more of a creme beige with a unique texture created by all the hair on it.

I'm going to stop bt Sherwin-Williams and get a sample of lilly white to compare to my butt.

Who knows? Mine may actually be lilly white too. Although I'm still thinking more of the beige to light brown tones.

I might paint my bathroom lilly white so I'll blend in and be invisible when I take my clothes off. That would be fun at parties.
