James Plazter
Negative.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
James Plazter makes up lies and gives false promises related to pay raises and job opportunities. He did not allow overtime after Sinclair allowed overtime to occur during the pandemic.
Everyone hates Plazter. He makes sexist comments about female staff and yells at people who ask for anything. He gaslights female staff during contract negotiations and will scream at those who turn in their two week notice.
Jim Platzer
Hands off, maybe a bit too hands off. He’s not as bad as people will tell you who don’t know what the job all entails, but has his quirks that rubs people the wrong way.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
It’s your typical small market station, no one wants to stay there and group speak makes everyone aware of their hatred and piles on. It’s Sinclair but they avoid the worst of the Sinclair style. They run the must runs but the local news isn’t influenced by any of it (most viewers think WJAC is liberal). If it had a spark of positivity, there would be lot of pluses.
Again, it’s your typical small station. Young group that has fun but hates being in a small town and think they’re the next big thing. Veterans who range from mentors to has been/never was. Station has long track record of putting good people (and even those only good because they look good) into major league markets. If you’re a go getter, you’ll make the best of it. If you like the big things in life, well...maybe find a new career!
Jim Platzer
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Platzer is rude and doesn't care about his employees. He calls them 'bodies' and 'girls' and has no respect for anyone. It doesn't start with Jim. This is a Sinclair station. The poison is trickling down from the top and the more that the news directors dish out poison, the more rewarded they are.
