check this out....found secret files of radio management:

Here's one interpretation of this secret labor code that appears in the corporate radio management guide called "Employer Talk":

Is this what it is like in the Radio Biz Guys????


COMPETITIVE SALARY: We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.

SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED: Some time each night and some time each weekend

SALES POSITION REQUIRING MOTIVATED SELF-STARTER: We're not going to supply you with leads; there's no base salary; you'll wait 30 days for your first commission check.

SELF-MOTIVATED: Management won't answer questions

CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE: We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up; well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.

COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT: We have a lot of turnover.

SOME PUBLIC RELATIONS REQUIRED: If we're in trouble, you'll go on TV and get us out of it..

DUTIES WILL VARY: Anyone in the office can boss you around.

CAREER-MINDED: We expect that you will want to flip hamburgers until you are 70.

SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE: You'll need it to replace three people who just left.

PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST: You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos.

GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want you to do.

ABILITY TO HANDLE A HEAVY WORKLOAD: You whine, you're fired.

FLEXIBLE HOURS: Work 55 hours; get paid for 37.5.
