The Tuna<\/b><\/p>\n
My boss is an idiot. He only hears what he wants to hear. So yesterday (which is deadline day…the busiest day of the week) the smaller of the two “Big City Newspapers” calls us to say that we can’t use the B-Link program for sending ads anymore. It’s not working…we gotta find a new way. They suggest this new way that costs us money each time we send them something. I’m like.. WOAH.. gotta talk to the Big Tuna before I can move on that. It’s not up to me. So I talk to the Tuna and he talks to the newspaper and sets up a meeting for today.
\n
In the meantime I talk to the bigger newspaper in town to find out what the deal is with them. They’ve got a system that costs us nothing in place, while they are setting up another system that, once operational, will be way cool. So we’re all good there.
\n
Now…today there was this meeting…where once the newspaper people tell the Tuna that the Competition is using this method and likes it the Tuna decides we’ll do it too and he calls up and pays for this. Never mind the fact that I point out that lesser city newspapers use a different method that is EXACTLY THE SAME as this paid method but COSTS US NOTHING. Nevermind the fact that there’s no BACKUP IN PLACE should this method have a problem…
\n
Whatever, it’s his company…he can cut spending by getting shitter insurance for us…he can cut spending by not giving us raises… he can run the place into the ground by spending money on shit like playoff tickets and this lame assed program.<\/p>\n
