I did not work in the news room. I worked elsewhere. after having worked at several other papers in different states (including 3 KR papers), and doing very well, I took a job at the TL. It was the biggest mistake I ever made. I have never seen such talented people get their esteem zapped so much. IMO Pat is the biggest problem with the place. The man gets off on intimidating people. He is a micro manager to the Nth degree. I can not believe that KR has not noticed that he is destroying the place. I have been very happy since leaving. Now, Pat can turn the place in to little Philadelphia. I know of at least 10 people that have since left..and none of us has looked back.
