The reporter had some editing duties but in this particular circumstance he was considered the reporter of record.
He was told by his boss to do an update. He told the truth to HR and the boss lied, saying he didn't tell the reporter that There was no investigation into the two incongruous accounts; so HR technically fired him for lying and making "the big company" angry because he missed the addition by an editor. (No other employee has been disciplined because of this screw-up.)
The reporter had refused to lie for his boss, he did what he was told and he still got fired.
Even though I don't work at BBG anymore, I have to watch my SO deal with this crap all the time.
And anyone who is thinking about working at BBG should know what he or she is getting into. It was different when I started and then it changed. A person doesn't just interview for a job--they are also interviewing the company to make sure it's a good fit.
I would take the complaints, including mine, with a grain of salt. But the sheer number of complaints should give a prospective employees pause. I believe the complaints and anger come from what is promised by the company and what isn't delivered. Plus there are people at the company who have been there for years and don't have the skills to take anywhere else.
Managers gets younger and don't have training or skills to actually manage. I think management training, REAL management training, would go a long way to quieting complaints, elevating morale, and stopping the dysfunction that is Bloomberg's trademark right now. |
