Chuck Peters answers comments about my status
July 19, 2009Chuck Peters responded this morning to a couple of comments on his blog, stating that I had been “marginalized” or “relegated to a lower-level room running out the clock on his contract.” I have already described my current role at Gazette Communications.
I welcome people to state their opinions, either on my blog, on Chuck’s or in other formats. I don’t feel any obligation to change minds when people are critical of me or my company. If we are successful at our work, our success will speak for itself. Until then, arguing is pointless.
My reluctance to give attention to commenters who clearly are seeking attention is offset by my commitment to accuracy, so I will correct a factual error: I have no contract on which to run out any clock. I came to work at the Gazette based on a letter of agreement that did not specify any length of time I would work here.
Hi, Steve,
Keep on plugging.
It’s a difficult world and this was a cold July weekend. As old “Porkchop” would have asked,” Who would have thunk it?”
That’s the way this world sends us these messages. Stride is what walks us through, if not out.
I read four papers daily online, and despite my age, I believe in innovation and the dawn of new tomorrows. As this future transpires and the new model is up and going….
Naysayers will drop by the wayside.
“Porkchop” will say, “Hell,I knowed it!”
Good luck.
You didn’t come here to get a rap sheet, yet bad raps usually come out of nowhere.
Like yesterday’s papers, blowing in the wind on a windy trash day.
John
Thanks, John. I’m still plugging.
