Do those guys have real names or is that their real names or is that part of the Arrow format to have the morning show called Dean & Rog? Who are those guys?

Although this information is readily available on the KKRW.com website, Vince Richards, the program director, has seen fit to follow through with his personal promise to get rid of me at the first opportunity and terminate my job because I posted my friends' last names on this board.
In an unrelated note, anybody who wants a jock who pulls in revenue as a part-timer, knows the format, and has the local connections that wouldn't go near CC with an 80-foot-pole---check it out---please call (832) 257-9615. I'm not afraid of you having my cell number that rings through on my hip.

I am sorry it has come to this by my asking a question here on the board and you giving an answer that is public record. This Vince Richards may be walking a dangerous course in how he is handling the matter. For one you haven't done any thing illegal and unless there is a clear company policy to not post their names (public record) then he is threatening you with loss of job to the point of abuse. This is called workplace abuse. Second, he is infringing on your off duty activities where you have not libeled the company in any way shape or form nor given out trade secrets.
To be threatened with job loss over off duty activities is workplace abuse.
The corporate offices of Clear Channel will respond to your complaint if you contact their Human Resources Department.
Good luck - no one should have to work in an abusive environment.

Thanks. You don't know the half of it. A month ago, I asked Steve Fixx (the Arrow APD) if it would do more harm than good to go to HR to try and get Vince to sit down and talk with me---Fixx strongly advised me against taking that course of action. I figured it was only a matter of time from that point on, so the other shoe dropping over this is no big surprise.
As I said, I know very few part-timers who go out and generate station revenue. I love being on the air, know rock music like the back of my hand, and until you screw me over repeatedly, I'm one of the most loyal employees you'll ever find (ironically, the day before on my night off, I left a party and went to the station at midnight, thinking that the other part-timer might have missed seeing their name on the revised holiday schedule. Sure enough, if I hadn't dropped in at midnight there would have been nobody there to do the Classic CD. The following day it wasn't "thanks for covering that," it was, "you're gone" over this).
I'll be happy to continue to do radio in Houston, if someone else wants to give me a call.

That's a typical response from coworkers.
"Bullying poses a serious health hazard to those targeted by compromising their psychological and physical health," says Tina Patzer, a human resource consultant and Mucho.com advisor with more than 15 years experience in the corporate arena. "Silent, frozen co-workers worsen the problem out of their own fears and frustrations. Eventually, the workplace is paralyzed by fear, incapable of productive work and susceptible to costly downtime."

I appreciate the info. CC's Employee Assistance Program is only open to full-time employees. Steve Fixx is operating in a higher management capacity than the other on-air co-workers; although I don't know his full title, I've always understood that he was operating in the capacity of a direct supervisor. That's why I thought it best to follow his advice at the time.
P.S. Edited because it just looked all wrong earlier when I typed "Steve Fixx is more than a co-worker." Nice guy, but I didn't mean it in any other way than the way it's now phrased. *smile*<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by radiomojo1 on 06/25/05 08:48 PM.</FONT></P>

Thank you, handsome stranger. What a nice thing to read just as I'm heading out the door.
After Batman Begins and the kids go to the sitter, we're planning on heading out to Dan Electro's for Tracy Conover with opener Too-Tall Bettis. (Travis Bettis is Big Al Bettis's son, for local blues fans). He's been playing a guitar since the playpen and if you've ever seen Tracy, you don't want to miss this one. I invite anybody reading to come out and get a taste of what Houston blues are really all about. Plus I plan on tying one on with grim determination and those Red Stripes ain't cheap, I'm unemployed, come hook a girl up. All kidding aside, it's Saturday night, TV sucks. Support some local music, it gives you strong bones and helps you grow.
Best,
J

Sir, respectfully, your statement is false. I have a stack of parking garage stubs in the corner of my windshield from the entire time I pulled 7-midnight that show exactly what times I made it into the building. Once I even jokingly asked Steve if I should be stapling them to my timesheets. Fact: I drove from Tomball to the Galleria every day in the worst traffic hours, directly through ever-changing construction, tearing up my car, and I usually didn't earn enough to both pay bills and cover gas to get to the end of the week without assistance from my parents or boyfriend. With two kids in school in Tomball and no hope of ever gaining fulltime pay and benefits (and zero hope of earning enough to move closer to the station), I think you got your money's worth out of me in my five years' time at the station. Check a little closer and you will also find out that a certain sales person had ME driving out before my airshift a couple of times a week to try and catch a client and pick up his checks over the last eight-week run of the client's advertising schedule. The client is in the Heights. The sales person, now departed from the station, simply never set foot in the business again after his initial meeting with the client. So, hey, no problem, I can try and track the guy down on his bar schedule, but add another hour and a half to my trip to drop kids off and get down 610E and back to the Galleria---on time---to do my airshift.
And let's not count the "hundreds of times" when I was actually on the schedule or was pulled in on holidays (or called at the last minute to cover someone) to push my hours over 30-35 hours per week. When's the last time you saw anything above 29.5 hours on my timesheet? Nope, I was a great little soldier, sir. If I stole any time at all, it was from myself and my family, to save your giant corporation a little money.
I dislike this sort of public airing, but really. Walk through the halls sometime after hours and ask the part-timers how they really feel about doing full-time work on part-time pay. If my radio career is over, maybe I can finally get my children off public assistance.
Respectfully,
Joanie Maverick

As I said, I don't know many part-timers who would go the extra mile for you as long as I did, but I had a good time, anyway. In all, I made the trade and ate a lot of Ramen because I love doing radio. It was always fun and never dull, even if some of those challenges involved driving that crappy car on an expired sticker for most of my 2004 year of employment with you because I couldn't afford the registration fee. On the bright side, I got to explore a lot of Tomball's more scenic backroads slipping in and out of town to get on the highway. *shrug* I know, who cares, but I had more fun than not over the last five years. As I said, I love radio, working with local bands, playing rock music on the airwaves, playing requests, doing major concerts. I can stand to hear "don't bother to respond" one more time in life from these guys, sure. Only this time I don't have to be afraid.
Thanks again, sincerely. I loved the Arrow.

Re: Joanie
We learned that to save money, you hire "part-time" staff and work them as "full time" employees. Not illegal, just un-ethical.
We also learned that their marketing program was so uncontrolled that an employee from another department was actually asked to collect payment from a client.
Without reading anything else, that's a really bad impression.
Sorry, Joanie. I can't comment on your work ethic or habits but I bet you will have a few offers faster than you might think.

Kendro, I sure hope you're right about that. Any offers are welcome, thanks for your encouragement!
I knew part-time jocks weren't supposed to have to go collect client checks, but what do you do when placed in that position? Let the client down? I did what I thought was best for the station and went after the checks for the absentee sales guy. I would have given anything to have been able to discuss it with my PD directly, but all communication to and from the PD was filtered through Fixx. Fixx was absolutely aware of the stunt the sales guy was pulling week after week after week, but I don't know how much of the real story he was actually able to convey to Vince. Certainly, nobody at the station ever put a stop to it. I'd have appreciated anyone stepping in and making the sales person do his own collection.
I'm pretty sure that if Fixx thought I was doing a poor job, he would not have covered for anything (for me or anybody else). He certainly would have looked like a hero for running to tell Vince at every chance, knowing how Vince felt about me. Fixx owed me nothing in the grand scheme of things. If he was ever "covering for me" against his PD's personal ire for any reason at all, I can only hope that it would speak to you of what Steve saw of my work ethic every day (and if you're reading, Steve, thanks for everything, I did enjoy working with you. You deserve a lot more credit than to be accused on a public messageboard of lying to your supervisor).
Again, thanks for your kind thoughts and words,
Joanie
