Ok chiefs, This question is for you... If I applied for a position at your station and you liked my tape and all... You start to call my references but notice that there isn't one listed for my current station... Am I automatically out the window? Let me explain first before you answer that...
At my current station, Good people but I've butted heads with about all of them to where I don't associate with any of them outside of work. I just refuse to screw around...
-Some of you may remember my "Windy Live Shots" thread in the general discussion... That got me chewed out.
-Another weather situation tonight with a live shot got me chewed out again (Long story short, Had to remind producer who makes the call when a shot is dead due to wx... Expecting to be called in to ND's office again).
-From what I've been told I'm the only one who hasn't been pulled over in a marked news vehicle.
-If I'm scheduled 10AM - 7PM I'll actually work that and not knock off early as soon as I'm done which I'm about the only one that doesn't (including my chief)... Unless I'm ill or have some other situation
-I don't talk about people behind their back unlike most everyone else in my newsroom
You can see why I wouldn't expect to get any references from here... If I explained all this to you, Would I still be out-the-window if I was before?
And if anyone else from my station should see this... Hi
