640AM "WFTL"?

[flaradiofan]

LOL You guys crack me up. Working for another radio operation (like Clear Channel) is SO much better. Yeah, that sausage factory where the board ops make $8 per hour and those are the ones with experience!

Blast the company, bitch about the programming, laugh at the article in the paper. (It's not 100% true. It doesnt tell the whole story.) Bottom line:

They pay 100% of my healthcare. They've never missed or bounced a paycheck on me. They support employees in so many ways (like continuing to pay medical for someone who no longer works there because of a serious illness) and they are pretty damn good people. In fact is, my paycheck comes at least 2 days EARLIER than it's supposed to.

Beasley can't say any of that. Cox can't say any of that. And my GOD if CC said one of those things, a lightning bolt would hit that building.

Oh, any MiniDill -- good going. And if you like Andy Slater, he also has shows a few nights a week on WKAT. You can probably hear that station better in Miami.

I'll put up with the JC "issues" over the other bulls<*t any day.

Glad I'm here and not at any of those places.

Okay, your turn to rip me apart Sportsdotcom and flaradiofan. (Do you have anything good to say about any radio company?)

Well, WFTL Employee (be it Ken Pauli, Steve "I like to ruin radio stations" Lapa or whichever board operator you are at James Crystal)......all I have to ask you is.....will your paycheck still come two days early after the landlord padlocks the door to your studios/offices because the huge amount of owed back rent hasn't been paid? Or the IRS starts to stop pussyfooting with your company as it seems they already are? Or they finally bag the illusive James Hilliard in some flop house after he has sold his last mansion and all of his radio station properties to pay off the the incredible amount of lawsuit and creditor debt he is facing? What then Mr. WFTL Employee?

Glad you like it where you are, but for how much longer? After the Miami Herald article exposing how crooked James Crystal's way of doing business is, I am sure that current advertisers (the few that are left) will start to run for cover and seek other stations to advertise on where their spots will actually be aired.

Do I have anything good to say about commercial radio in South Florida? No, but if and when it ever changes, I'll be the first to sing its praises...but I'm not holding my breath for that to ever occur.

ha you guys are too funny, you really think i work for radio. i'm actually 41 years old and work at the post office, come into my station anytime and no, not radio station.

i listen to 640 when i work, mon-wed, and then on fri and sat.

i said i like fox sports because i listen to jim rome in the afternoon, and i like the updates but i enjoy calling into local stations.

this must be like a cult board or something where you guys have nothing more to do than try and investigate things instead of listening to people like me, from a regular crowd.

anyways, thanks to the other person for maybe at least understanding, i did listen this weekend to yankees game and then cro on sunday night in my car before the game. i didnt hear the other guy slater this weekend though. is he still on saturdays?

take care guys ill check in again later

I worked in sales for over 2 decades for both Cox & CC and NEVER was I not paid on the date I was supposed to. Both companies offered some of the best insurance I ever had at any time in my life. Those are all things that are supposed to happen. Frankly, the fact that you are celebrating that as if it's not the norm is absolutely absurd & shows the state of ridiculousness that JCR is in.

Hey guys, be happy we'll pay you on time!

What a joke.

Every major company I worked for paid on the 15th and 30th. So yes, getting my money in my account on the 13th and 27th IS something to be thankful for. ;D

And Cox & CC offered "some of the best insurance." That's AWESOME. Did they pay 100% of it? Bet not. Bet they took $$ out of your paycheck for it. JCR pays ALL of it. HAH! Nobody does that anymore.

And I bet they wouldn't keep you on their healthcare system even AFTER you were let go if you had a serious illness. I'm not talking Cobra either. I'm talking PAYING for your healthcare so you could keep your coverage while you went through your treatment, even though you were no longer an employee. JCR has done it.

Oh, and if you get into an accident and are laid up for 2 months, I bet your companies would put you on disability. JCR never stopped the paychecks.

No, it's not all fun and games. What radio/media company these days is a total joy to work for? But overall, sorry, I'm perfectly happy where I am right now.

Cox - good solid company. Nothing at all bad to say.
Hope your friends at CC are not sweating their jobs as the privatization gets closer. lol I know mine are seriously worried.

One thing is to discuss the viability or ethics of a particular company. Another is to "LOL," as you put it about your, "friends," who work for a company that's going thru a sale & are uncertain about their future. I don't speak for others, but you were responding to my post. I don't have the gall to mock those who may be in economic distress. People get let go all the time. It's part of the business. It's not something you should be laughing about. Your company could (probably) be in the same boat at some point. As could many others as well. You obviously, don't have much couth. I guess one does adapt to his/her surroundings.
