Blazin' 98.9 FM snuffs out staff pay

[Bob_Hudson]

San Diego's other CC of radio, Chris C at sdradio.net reports "MEC Communications has reportedly cut the salary of Blazin’ 98.9 FM forty percent."

He says perhaps a dozen folks mat have quite because of that.

Very clever move by the company: instead of firing staff you make them quit and that way the employees get a whole lot less unemployment than if they'd been laid off.

This from their website, which is full of vacuous mission statements, visions and values:

"MEC Network’s mission is to build a team that is completely devoted to it’s company and to foster and embrace the characteristics of leaders in our industry. To forge a path of continual self realization, high standards of business ethics that underscore respect of self and others – and, ultimately, that transcend self to deliver superb service to our client."

and this gem:

" MEC Network Work Environment- MEC Network is committed to create an environment based on self respect as well as respect towards others, in a collective effort to achieve harmony. "

Note to all: always avoid working for managers who toss out junk like this. You can pretty much be sure that their management style is based on whatever book they read most recently.

That's what his website says, be he says, or said, when we spoke on the phone this afternoon, that after he wrote that, he heard it may be a dozen who "mat have quite," (translated in English, that means "may have quit").
