Staff reductions and hiring freezes, yet the workload and demands just increased. I personally worked 6 days a week, 12 hrs+ a day as a manager and on the occasion I didn’t answer an email at 1130p or a text at 430a on a Sunday. I was told I lacked a “sense of purpose”. I finally left the business completely and am happy as a technical construction manager. Yes, people account for up to 80% of a stations’ operating budget, and times right now are financially trying. However, good people cannot work under this type of pressure without burning out, and leaving.
