Sinclair Broadcast Group – “Sinclair learned business skills through Joseph Stalin.

Sep 10, 2008

1.0

Sinclair Broadcast Group Senior Production Assistant in Columbus, OH:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

The people you meet while working under an employer such as sinclair broadcast are all sensibly competent proletariat who share similar disdain of the management with open ears and voiced opinions. Working with such a crowd defines unity that work environments should have everywhere.

Cons

-The level of professionalism is dwarfed by the "out of college" inexperienced management who have as much sense as a babysitter claiming, "Mommy put ME in charge!"
-Every job is handled sloppily and the workers berated for the laughable investment by corporate causing a product that never works.
-The salary is that of a minimum wage worker and the demand on employees is too high for the pay. Raises are staunchly awarded and much more is expected of one after fiscal coitus like some cheep hooker.
-Backstabbing through departments creates a hostile environment and lessens morale.
-Benefits beyond health care, minimal vacation (usually causing more work for individuals to cover for the absent employee), sick pay (again, creates more work and less ease of mind), and personal days (never personal) don't exist.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay attention to your employees more than your bottom line. A hostile environment will only cause its tenants to resort to hostility. When disrespect flows downhill, the backbone of work ethic starts to pervert and the support administrators rely on for stability through its employees becomes crooked and fragile and more likely to break. What happened to praise for a job well done? The only means they convey gratuity to the proletariat is through the cold channels of e-mail and memos of which my frostbitten sense of humility needs more to assuage a good example set by those that command me, but I’m only getting that warmth of personal touch in the neat package of discipline or reprimand. Your boss is as blind as you are when it comes to management. The only difference to him is that “mommy put ME in charge.”

by Can't Cope:

This company cannot cope with the changing environment into the 21st century. They are so backwards with their thinking and lack of technology and proper training and management. I think even Joseph Stalin had more human compassion than Sinclair does.
