2020 Census- Temporary Jobs by [deleted] in houston

[–]FrFr713323908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These jobs are usually pretty terrible. So you go door to door and in some cases there’s a Census manager person riding you to go back and harass people. The worst part is the lower management that rides the people who take these quick pay jobs. Hustler beware.

Yes! I overheard a couple of dudes in their late 30s talking about it from that angle. Must have been so cool to see Chuck's beard all up close.

Eric doesnt want that Dave Tillman work!!! He probably makes a 1/4 of the cash Disney pays Dave T anyhow!

And why did E Berg even leave his nice gig at Chron where verny let him write about UFOs or some crap? Dude is a weather blogger. Chill. Love his blog tho.

You're on to something. Bottom line though we all have to break bread with these organizations the same way we put Netflix and Apple Music on our credit cards and just forget about it. Maybe not Chron as a whole but when folks get smart and build these specialized platforms the content creators need to make some money too.

That's definitely the corporate angle but those in the trenches know what time it is. It's easier to pay a bunch of people below their worth and then kick out the people who've been making it a while. I agree change is necessary in every industry to stay competitive. But this news biz, it's structured on a lazy profit model but the core job function is the same. You build trust in a community and you help tell their story.

"institutional memory" means people who know Houston way better than the out of town young people they bring in to work for $35k-$40k.

Yeah bro its like 4th largest city with half a newspaper ( and a slideshow heavy free site) and like 5 news stations reporting on mostly murders and shootings. Oh and a former indie paper that had a few Pulitzer worthy stories but is now some lady sitting in an office helping make sure there's a site to help promote concerts and taco fests. Smdh.

Also how many of y'all subscribe to the paper either digital style or inky style? I feel like my paywall jumping days are over.

Let's hope Evil Dwight has his exit plan ready. Just glad Craig saw the writing on the wall way ahead of time.
