An Overall Toxic Work Environment

There has been a high turn over of photographers because, Gregg has created a hostile work environment with his over reactionary verbal abuse and micro management style.

How has Hearst Argyle let this guy fail up through the company ranks destroying and demoralizing a once competitive station?

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Constantly harasses staff. Doesn’t know how to treat employees. When a complaint is filed against him, he confronts the person who filed it. Always wanting micromanage everything and blame staff for things that are his fault. Has a very low threshold for breaking news (fender bender and a tweet are breaking news). Terrible news judgement. Worries more about what the competition has rather than enterprise our own stories.

He and his Assistant News Director need to go they’re both not very good nor do they know how to treat or approach staff. He might as well not have other supporting managers as he constantly picks at them. News Director has caused massive turnover where people don’t want to stay, since he took over the ratings have also gone downhill.
Other colleagues at the station are awesome to work with, just in a horrible situation.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

He and his assistant ruined this station. He might as well not have any supporting managers. He won't listen to them. He is a corporate kiss ass who is certainly more worried about getting sued than doing what it takes to tell a great story. You work sometimes two weeks straight. Very little sleep. His threshold of what is breaking news is so elementary. I don't know how many car wrecks I chased when I was there.
