My 30-Day Notice

[Blackcat1954]

my supervisor and publisher just gave me a 30-day notice to improve my job performance here at the newspaper.

Going on 2 years in Bay City and they are not happy with how I'm doing. They presented me with a letter, citing my weaknesses and my mistakes as a Sport Editor.

To me that's almost like telling me that they don't want me here anymore.

They said they have given me several chances to improve my writing and production,

I was at the Wharton Journal-Spectator for almost 25 years where I received a few reprimands.

Didn't know that you have to be a Mr Perfect to keep a job. Everybody makes mistakes

Anyway I probably won't have a job in a month seems like. I'll probably get out of the newspaper business. 27 years has been long enough.

Need to try something new but I have no idea what.

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that!! Although, it seems from some of your previous posts that you aren't really happy with that job anyway!

Maybe this will be the time in your life that you will find something that is exactly what you love to do!! That is my prayer for you!!

Good luck!!!!

I may be in the soup line too if things don't pick up. Good luck!

You should find something else and leave in about two weeks, beat'em to the punch.

Unfortunately I agree. When they start what they are doing that is a good sign to get another job as soon as possible.
I had two friends at governmental appointed jobs and one official who was going to take office told him he wasn't doing all he was supposed to do which involved needing more staff which they wouldn't provide. He said he would give him six months. Within a month he found another job and it took them that long to find someone who would take the job. Another friend was told the same thing and he didn't see the writing on the wall and eventually was dismissed. Fortunately he found an even better job but he would have been better off finding it sooner rather than trying to work things out.

Thanks for the suggestions

It may be hard to find another sports writing job in the area at a newspaper that's close with 30 minutes

Maybe can try the Sealy newspaper which comes out twice a week

I've been writing for newspapers since 1985-Had meaningless jobs before that.
