  1. Its a “cutthroat business.” This episode only demonstrates just how much. The days of the local news and the interconnectedness that was once there is not any longer. Companies that treat their employees like mere commodities are a bane to society as a whole.

    1. It’s the lowest station on the totem pole in this market thanks to not having a major network affiliation.

      I would defer to those in the local news business but from what we hear in the media, it appears the worst run as well.

  2. Congrats to the employees who refused to sign the covenants not to compete. Covenants not to compete place employers who use them in an unfair and unwarranted power position, which allows employers to beome lazy and miserly in their treatment of employees, since they know that they have them trapped.

    If an employer can not keep his employees through the salary, benfits and atmosphere that he offers to them, he probably deserves to lose them.

    They are also bad for the economy. The miracle of the many sucessful start up companies in Silicon Vally and the attendant ecomomic growth they created is due largely to the fact that California does not permit covenants not to compete.

  3. “Noncompete clauses” only prove the employer is not willing to be competitive! Not for compensation, benefits, talent, promotion, culture, or quality of life.
    Always walk when your employer admits they’re not going to try to keep you there with anything other than the threat of a lawsuit.

  4. WISH Tv channel 8 still exists ? It is not on my Antenna’s broadcast channel search function , it isn’t on Directv either . It really is a non-compete company .

  5. I can only watch WISH8 on 2 of my 3 antennae TV’s , their broadcast is not strong enough for my north facing antenna. Before digital it was the strongest broadcast. But I still watch daily, a good news and sports station!
    I am glad to see both Ashley and now Felicia gone. Both were too self important with entitled egos.
