He was shady. Just took orders from corporate. No one in this position has a voice. It’s disgraceful.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Certain people are given preferential treatment, leading to pettiness and poor treatment all around.

I was actually the Assistant News Director. He was a terrible mentor.
This station is seven miles from corporate Sinclair HQ, and is heavily controlled by those at corporate. It is a testing ground for group-wide projects which can be nice, but there are too many cooks in the kitchen -- and no one who will stand up to corporate and voice an objection if something isn't working and is detrimental to the local product. The News Director is completely spineless and spends most of his time in the GM's office, where there is very little transparency and an uneasy feeling emanates. When I was there, a certain reporter had a horrible clique and -- if she didn't like you -- you were either a) always in the "dog house" and/or b) forced out. Honestly, I left because she made it impossible for me to come to work. Her husband worked at corporate and she is best friends with the corporate head of the news division. I could have stuck it out, but the nail in the coffin was when I was strongly encouraged to give to the corporate PAC. I found that reprehensible.
