Tom Henderson
He comes off as a very nice guy, but will ask you to do something that could kill your career without blinking. Do NOT let him talk you into doing that on any story.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
ND Tom Henderson is as emotionally stable as someone with bi-polar disorder, meaning you never know what you're going to get. Ass. ND Shannon Millsaps is often at a loss for what is happening, as well as when and why, which is frustrating because she also works the assignment desk. Managing Editor Latricia Thomas is the most knowledgeable news person there, but she knows it and is not afraid to rub it in your face everyday. Together those three kill morale, confidence and creativity.
Chattanooga is such a great city, but as long as those three are running things, steer clear of WTVC NewsChannel 9.
Tom Henderson
Nice guy and seems super attentive when you first start, but stays in his office a lot and doesn’t know what’s going on his newsroom.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Managing editor is extremely condescending. She and a lower employee gossip about other employees where they can be heard. Also, she and assignment manager pick favorites and not everyone gets equal opportunities. For example, a “favorite” will get all breaking news stories, best photographer, etc.
The news director favors the managing editor, Latricia, and even though 15+ employees have left citing her as the problem for a toxic workplace the problem is ignored. I wouldn’t let my worst enemy work there.
